i hope this goes away.

Yes Jackson is good, but how do you keep around a guy that is suspended indefinately for drug use? He needs to be let go and the franchise needs to continue to build the way they have. We can add a FA or two and draft someone if we need too.

The cap hit would be huge to get back and give the team an opportunity to keep some of the 18 FAs we have coming up. DY, KL, ZoA, Sav, FD, Brandon M?, and restructure of DH. I wanted to get rid of DH, but now if he restructures at (he said he is open to) a lower cap hit I would be open to keeping him.

What gives me hope is that their has been a change of the organizational and player behavior of the franchise. That the current group of players finally realize that with dedication and preparation they can win by staying focused on winning and takin it one game at a time. Not that we didn't have a good work ethic before, but that winning will give them that affirmation.
