low risk, high reward - the red sox offseason continues to be a success.
High Reward? You've got to be kidding.
I'm about the biggest Willie supporter on this site, and I would never classify any move that involved keeping/adding Willie as high reward.
Sure, it's not a mistake of a signing. Willie is a serviceable major league player, one who if used right can be very productive for a cheap price, but he's never going to be better than, say, league average.
Since it's a non-guaranteed deal, No Risk, Little Reward would be a better classification of the deal.
