Understood. I'm still going to pull for Markakis to succeed, as I'm sure you will, and I agree with the direction of this team, which I assume you question it a bit. Sucked losing my two favorite players, but when all is said and done, we will all look back and appreciate what Heyward did and could have been for us...while appreciating even more what Hart built for us as fans.
I hope Markakis is amazing. I'm just pragmatic. He's getting old and his power has continually fallen. His speed and range have fallen. He's probably not gonna be very good. Maybe he gets lucky and is good for us for a few years, but I have a strong feeling he won't be remotely close to being worth 44M over the next 4 years.
