Arrieta to Phillies - 3 year deal, $75 million

[Brewer Fever]

Yeah, he also has the ability to pitch like a fringe major league pitcher like he did for 3 years from 2011-2013. Then he started throwing his slider a great deal more and had a break through. If that slider takes its toll or he reverts back to throwing it less, his fastball is very ordinary. He very well may have 2 or even 3 effective years ahead of him but to say his worst case is a #3 starter has already been proven false. He could look like a terrible signing at 25 million as soon as 6 weeks from now.
