This is not a bad contract from either side. In todays market and with the common injury factor of all pitchers especially one with an allout delivery in a small body a two year contract is very smart. The one's taking a risk are the teams giving any pitcher a five or six year contract. Go do the research and you will find very few worked out where the team got anywhere near full value. See what he does for the next two years then offer him a longer bigger contract. At least he has secured his financial future with his first big paycheck. Not all guys want to play in NY, he seems more like a laid back California type guy.
