Mike Timlin is still a good relief pitcher, and should he wish to continue pitching, we should give him his one year, three million dollar contract or whatever he wants.

Agreed, but...
As with Schilling, I'm not convinced Timlin can last another full season. If we re-sign him, it has to be with the understanding that his use has to be pretty carefully monitored for the first 3-4 months of the season so that his arm doesn't fall off in the late season, when his value as a tough as nails guy to get 2-3 hitters is accentuated.
