I don't know, I'm just not sold on years and years of Jack Flaherty. If you take a look at his record, it reads: cup of coffee; good year; great year; crap year, injured year; crap injured year; meh year; good year. So if we were to give him, I don't know, 5/110 just to agree to long-term it in Detroit, we can be certain he'll have some injured years and meh years and long stretches of crap, and probably also a good year, or maybe even two. But I just don't see him reeling off anything like five straight years of 30+ starts with well-above average ERA+.
If we were to sign him, I would root hard for him, but we also wouldn't be able to say he himself didn't warn us.
