I'm talking about guys like Arrenciba or Cozart, guys who won't change the fortunes for teams but who do little things right. There's very few teams who couldn't use a nice defensive minded utility player or a back-up catcher who can handle pitchers, throw well and provide a little pop off the bench.
I don't know if we have too much talent, GMs attitudes (apathy, no confidence in themselves like hokey) aren't on point, boredom, or simply tanking. But something's not on par.
Rocky - Acquiring that useless OFer and the least efficient 25 bombs that comes with him is the exact opposite of fielding the best possible team. If you were arguing for yourself and trying to say you weren't tanking you basically used exhibit A from the prosecution. Not picking on ya or calling you out but that cracked me up.
nahhh, about the honzo point I was making is I didn't just sit on all of my money, that is $11 million on the payroll right there, if I really wanted to, I could have just sat on that 11 mil and not worry about it so I was trying to spend like Mike wanted. I just choose to pick my spots.
