Some small pay bumps for role players and failing to unload the one star on the team are all this winter is going to bring?

I might not watch a single game this year.

Kid is supposed to have elite bat to ball skills. Should be a solid offensive player for us eventually.

This team has no idea what it's doing, does it?

Eh - no reason not to.

I mean at any point in the season one or all of those old fart SPs we're sending out there by virtue of the contracts they're owed will end up getting hurt.

Fine. Whatever. What's the worst that could happen? No sense in pissing McGreevy's service time away as a swing man anyway.

Yeah, we are only getting the him for 6 years, why blow one year. He looks like a solid starter in the future.
