The Setoguchi was one of those low risk/high reward single year deals so absolutely nothing wrong with it, and if you somehow think Engelland was a bad signing after what he did after Gio went down then there's something wrong with you

Agreed. Actually, the funny thing was that the Raymond contract looked good at first. But as time wore on, it looked bad. Egg's contract looked bad from day 1, but right now, it's looking better than Raymond's contract. Setoguchi was a "at least we tried to address the RW issue" contract.
