Brian Duensing really acquitted himself well in the second half of last season after starting out in somewhat atrocious fashion. There was a significant amount of time when I thought the Cubs would be better served by simply releasing him, and I was certainly proven wrong as the season progressed. I consider this the primary reason I'm not a general manager.

2 years, $7 million is a great deal for the age-35 and age-36 seasons of what I consider to be a fine 4th option out of the pen.
