Whoa an actual tweet!

That's an excellent signing for a veteran reliever.  Year to year it's hard to know what you are getting, but for $2.5M that's a great risk/reward.

Meh, not a real splashy type signing.

Familiarity is about all.

I didn't get a lot of the hate the guy got last year.  He's not a dominant guy, but he was solid, and on top of that, he was just very reliable all year long.  Happy to have him back at this price tag.

A solid reliever with a lot of late-inning experience is good to have, and he was good for us last year. And considering that Ottavino got 1/$4m and Familia 1/$6m today, $2.5m with a team option is a steal.

Happy to see him back, but he has been very back-and-forth at times.  Hopefully he is on another good year swing!

I wonder what the second year option is worth.  A great signing of he is anything close to last year. 

"Rock, sometime, when the team is up against it, and the breaks are beating the boys, tell 'em to go out there with all they got and win just one for the Uecker. I don't know where I'll be then, Rock but I'll know about it; and I'll be happy."

Love to see a Box of Burgers. Just a solid all around reliever. He was absolutely crucial in various roles last year. I approve of this signing.
