If Mawae is better, it's not by a whole ton, when you factor in age. I think it's just making a mountain out of a mohill.

Unfortunately, that's where we are right now. What does it say about your franchise when people are debating whether we should have signed the 37 year old center or the 39 year old center?

It definitely doesn't say a lot. But I think it does say a lot when people are using this as a basis to complain.

I'm more upset about passing on Dansby, Rolle, and maybe Walter. I can understand getting mad about not signing long-term options. But these guys are clearly brought in to be stopgaps.

FTR, I'm not complaining at all. I just would have gone a different route.

I hope that Casey can get the job done until we can get some young blood into the spot.
