I've traded what seems like millions of picks and specs to keep my team going and staying in the black. I've been responsible. I've taken the steps to make sure I always am in the black. Theres lost of specs I wish I could have gotten and or kept but I made the choice to keep my team in the black instead, something that wasn't done in Seattle. Scott got the ball rolling but HB didn't do himself any favors by extending vicmar to that huge contract. The idea of being on a coupel mil in debt and able to extend your guys is one thing, over 20mil thats another issue.
jumping in this convo late, haven't really been following it, but I do have to say is yes i've seen you dance above the red for many seasons, i've watched you trade away specs and players for cash just to stay out of the red.
