Jays Ink Benitez to minor league deal

The Jays added some depth to the pitching roster today adding Armando Benitez on a minor league deal. Benitez known most of his career as a closer with heat, has accepted a minor league offer from the Jays on Tuesday. Benitez has a great fastball but has run into control problems in the past. He has saved 40 games 3 times in his career. My feeling is this is a pretty good pickup, if things work out he could really provide some depth in the bullpen. Any thoughts?

I agree
It's a good low-risk signing. I'm surprised no other team gave him a similar contract sooner.

nothing good ever
comes out of signing Armando Benitez.  But I'm confident that nothing bad will come out of this move either, so I'm not too upset.

it's a little hard to be objective regarding this particular issue
