if you have deep SP, then do not resign the 35 year old. if you get 1 good year that's a bonus, let alone 5. if he's shown any degredation in ratings, you need to get rid of him ASAP at that age... slap a qualifying offer on him, or use that as comparison for value of other posssible outcomes with this player on your team. when they fall apart during a season when you expect to depend on them, that's a big problem even if you have prospects on the cusp... if you expect him to be a #1-2, you can't replace that during a season easily or cheaply.

based on what you said anyway.... there are instances where it would be a good signing. if you have a very young team and have 4-5 years before it gets expensive, it's a nice insurance policy... and you can afford it if he ends up an expensive long reliever. even if you can afford it, this should be viewed as the lesser of the two choices.

i'm also assuming your other pitchers are underperforming compared to ratings/track record. it's only a handful of starts.
