    Hmm, not our best option. Let's hope it's no more than $4-5m.

    At some point they have to gear themselves towards 2017 with some younger guys. They can't do it all next year.

    Woot woot! Printing my World Series tickets as I write!

    But I thought he was an American League player, Mr. Hart?

    Much better than wasting $50M and a draft pick on Weiters.

    I like it. If he sucks, DFA him. If he is good, trade him. We don't have better internal options since we have apparently moved on from Bethancourt.

    I expect the general consensus in this thread to be bitching though.

    I certainly do not view this as a win for the young pitching, AJ is just not that good behind the plate, he hit fine, but the rest is much more important right now.

    When is the general consensus around here not bitchy???
    Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...

    Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

    Catcher was always going to be the trickiest need to fill given the thin FA crop and general positional scarcity. Now the FO can be patient and buy and trade based on value.

    Completely agree wth this. I don't want to handcuff our ability to improve this position for the future by dedicating resources to mediocrity ala Markakis.
