Closers these days are good one year bad the next, so the three years is only good for him not the franchise.

97/98 mph fastball and a nasty slider; sometimes he tries to throw the slider too hard, and it stays up and gets hit hard. He was pressing early last year with the Mariners because it was his walk year, wanted to impress everyone--instead, blew 4 saves in a row, lost his job to Wilhelmson who is under club control for 4 more years (I think 4). Traded to LA at the deadline. Once he stopped trying so hard, he resumed being effective. In 2011 he had 2.79 ERA, 37 saves for the M's who won about what--70 games? He will be a good reliever for someone for a few years.
