WOW! Talk about a payday. Benoit will now be paid $5.5 million/season as a reliever! That's just too much to pay a reliever who isn't closing in my opinion. The Tigers did need a setup man but I think they overpaid for it but since its not my money, they did get a good reliever.The Tigers reached an agreement with righty reliever Joaquin Benoit on a three-year, $16.5MM deal today. He can earn another $1MM per year in incentives. Benoit was one of baseball's best bargains in 2010, as he posted a 1.34 ERA, 11.2 K/9, 1.6 BB/9, 0.9 HR/9, and 38.9% groundball rate in 60 1/3 innings.
