Completely agree that he's found his niche; if he's needed for a spot start once or twice, I'd be fine with it, but otherwise he's in a great spot right now (so let's not mess with a good thing).Taking a step back... we often rip Gillick for his bargain basement signings, but Dobbs, Werth, Romero, Durbin, Seanez et al show that there's little risk and potentially big reward in signing guys like this.
