Based on what he has shown so far he seems pretty lucky that he got a one way and signed a deal that works for both him and the team in that he gets paid 600,000 no matter what and the team can send him down without worrying about paying him a ton on a one way deal.

Then why was management so afraid they'd have to pay a lot more if he went to arbitration?
