It's supposed to. They want Huber to spend another year in the minors.
Minky and Grudzy will greatly upgrade our IF defense; plus, they're just on one-year deals. That's the best thing about it -- short-term stopgaps to give the kids a bit more time, while improving a glaring weakness -- D.
Still need some OF help until Gordon, Lubanski, etc. arrive. Really don't want Reggie Sanders, unless it's maybe for one year, or Jacque Jones for more than 2.
I've already spoken up in support of the Elarton deal.
This FA market wasn't good enough for us to make a big splash. And we haven't really traded anybody yet, so we've plugged holes while still holding some chips for later.
I'll settle for 70 wins this year; 80 the next. Just go 70-92 this year and I'll consider that improvement, assuming the kids keep progressing, whether it's in KC or the minors.
