"Tim Hudson agreed to a three-year contract with the Atlanta Braves on Thursday, giving the team a wealth of starting pitching and setting up a likely trade to bolster the offense. Hudson could have returned to the Braves under a $12 million mutual option, but the two sides focused on a longer deal after the right-hander showed he had overcome major elbow surgery. They worked out an agreement through 2012, with a club option for 2013. Financial terms were not immediately available, but the sides were thought to be discussing a contract between $9 million and $10 million a season (ESPN)."
Tim Hudson is an injury concern and he is starting to get older, but I still don't think this is a terrible deal for the Braves. They have a lot of solid pitching now, and they might be able to move some of it to bolster that terrible offense. The Braves apparently think he is healthy enough now, and it is just so hard to get good pitching that I think they had to at least give this a shot...
