    If we're taking on the money the return should have been a hearty handshake and a smile.

    He's ok, but yeah, taking on that whole contract should been Winkler and a stiff, not Beck.

    If we really are taking on all the money owed to Melancon, then I'm not a fan of this deal at all.

    AA is a good GM but taking on this entire contract is not a good move.

    Beck isn’t near the prospect the taking chop boys want to pretend he is, I don’t think.

    Still price is high.

    We have money coming off books I thought.

    Not paying O'Day anymore. Probably will not pick up Flowers option with Jackson and Murphy as depth if McCann wants to take another 1 year deal. Keuchel probably won't come back.

    Tehearn is also an option we may not have to pick up. Or maybe AA got word from McGuirk the payroll is expanding again.

    There's certainly some money to work with, and i could see us pay Dallas. Julio at 12 mil will be interesting too.

    Payroll is probably expanding, but how much, is tbd.

    I think AA prob won't re-sign Keuchel but will offer him QO.

    In the event he declines, we still have Anderson, Wright,Wilson again to try and figure it out.

    It is still too much to pay for this reliever, he is making 14 million next year. I wouldn't pay him half that as he is not as good as he use to be.
