    We'll get more for Vizcaino than Jim Johnson. I'd look to trade Viz and sell high on Sam Freeman. Freeman has good lefty splits this year.

    Can we just sign the top relief pitcher on the market each year and just trade him at the deadline?

    They are inconsistent and overpaid. What happens when you sign one for 15 mil and he puts up 4.5 ERA?

    I think the ones you throw big money at are more consistent and your keep it to a 2 year deal max.

    I'm positive you haven't noticed, but the BP arms being traded recently are not guys who were recently signed to big FA contracts.

    I'll let you ponder why that is...good luck.

    A bud light and some skittles. What team would give up value for Johnson? Some team advised by Dave Stewart.
