Glad he held the line, that's a pretty solid trade.
I'll miss the guy, always enjoyed the never know what you're going to get, wild card angle of his game. Plus he stuck up for teammates, and would always show for big games.
But as others have said, he was a concern next year. Either lose him for nothing in expansion, or maybe worse keep him and then an arbitrator hands him an unexpected raise. That was a concern.
For that (expansion lists and arbitration) I think I'd be a little pissed if I was a Florida fan.
