Jansen
Thomas

(ie same guys who restructured last year)

The only guy on this list that I was somewhat surprised by was Patten. I thought we were pretty happy with him. Why do you think he is gone? What's the hit for cutting him next year pre-June 1/post June 1?

Also, to add something to my super long post - Several months ago Canuck criticized the FO for (as he references here) backing themselves into a corner/mishandling the Samuels, Arrington and Coles situations. I think his analysis of those three transactions was pretty damn good and a fair critique of the FO. Does anyone have the link to that post?

However, as I think I have made clear, I believe that Gibbs is instituting a sea change in the way the front office, and Danny himself, handle the business of aquirering and retaining talent. In terms of FA, I hope this next offseason is just as quietly productive as our past.
