And he's more expensive than OBJ (at least surface AAV). And at least we know OBJ was well-liked inside the lockerroom.

As I said, it's a close call. And ultimately if Veach/Reid liked Taylor more than Brown, it's a no-brainer.

I just didn't think the money on their deals would be comparable enough for us to even be having this conversation. I think 90% of us would've been thrilled if we kept OBJ on that deal.

Yes, I was in the move on from Brown crowd but I can't see turning that down
