The fact that he's a reliever and that those guys typically burn out is probably one reason. I find it so odd that year after year, teams splurge on one inning guys when they really needn't to. Teams with a lead in the 9th win like 95% or some ridiculously near perfect percentage of the time.
Overpaying for that is silly.
