He didn't have that bad a year this year

The wins weren't there, but he did over 200 innings, had close to 200 strike outs. Highish ERA and WHIP, yeah. He gives up way too many hits the last couple years.
I'd take him on my team, like I said, if it wasn't for the high salary he'll be commanding.
I think he's a guy that's not adapting to the fact his original 'stuff' isn't getting him the outs it used to regularly. He needs to adapt and learn new pitches. That's what I think.
