A) Weathers is far from a sure thing at this point, B) there's no harm in having four guys capable of closing, let alone two, C) both Weathers and Corpas will be extremely cheap even by setup-man standards for the next four years.
I had Corpas at 2.31/2.92 ERC/FIP last year (yeah, he was BABIP lucky). Actually, his '06 Major League FIP was 2.91... the BABIP has swung, the FIP has remained the same.
He's probably done development wise. But he could comfortably settle in as a 3.00 reliever for years to come.
