Give Baker a one-year deal with a $3M base and incentives that kick in either after 10 starts or 50 innings or so. The incentives can boost the value to something like $7M, and a vesting option can kick in at 150 innings and pay him $10M-ish in 2014.
I hope something gets worked out and Baker is able to regain his usual form. He’s a tremendously underrated pitcher and it’d be nice to see what he could do with an outfield of Span and Revere behind him instead of elephants like Delmon, Cuddyer, and Kubel.
Granted, Span could easily be traded…

There are other options if you want to roll the dice on a pitcher coming off of an injury! Give Baker Blackburns Jersey and he can stay. Take Blackburn deep sea fishing where he should stay!
