We'd hate to lose Myers, but if we had, say, Nick Swisher out there for a couple more years, I bet we could stomach it more. It's the thought of sacrificing Myers to try to win now with Frenchy still here for 140 games that is so frustrating.

I hate Nick Swisher, but I see your point. But I'm really looking forward to this season. Our weakness was pitching. We fixed it. It's a bona fide fix. Even Francoeur has his advantages (club house atmosphere, put outs) that the prospect of his starting until Bubba Starling makes it up is okay with me.
