It was still a "C" tier signing, at best. He was riding the pine for Oakland the year before we signed him.
Yes he wound up being solid for us, but that doesn't change the fact that he was kind of a "value" signing.
Teams weren't lining up with blank checks to sign Thomas Howard coming off a year on the bench.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
