Very little risk, as long as you have the money to cover the deal if they stay healthy but start to suck. Bury them in the minors and they get paid while being off the cap sheet. If they don't show up, they don't get paid. If they get a long term injury, or a career ending injury, insurance probably picks up the rest of the salary or some substantial portion of it. These deals are nowhere near as risky as they might seem.
