I may have missed something, but his contract is 2.1 million with 1 million extra in incentives. That’s a little less than 5 million…
YourDaddy
You are right. Originally Houston radio was saying he could make as much as $5 million with incentives. My bad.

Pass. He may have had his moments but in the long run he was erratic at best. It was time to move on.

To be fair, most of hits starts were as the 5th starter. Not much more you can ask for from the 5 spot. I still think it was time for the Angels to move on, but Williams can be a valuable long relief/spot starter for any team.
YourDaddy
To be fair, even the 5th starter on every other team was better than Williams.
Whether you are looking at his 5.06 ERA as a starter or 4.57 ERA overall, neither is valuable. Both are bad.
RyÅnWKrol
He’s a long relief/spot starter, and the Angels didn’t have the depth to keep Williams from pitching too many innings. He is very effective through 4 or 5 innings, but like KINGMOJO said, you leave him in longer and he tends to implode. He basically explained your point before you made it. Williams is not a full time starter.

I like Williams, but I won’t lose sleep over letting him go. It was time to shuffle the deck and get younger with pitching.

He wasnt great, but he was extremely likable.
