    Yes, you are right again. I am just thinking crazy speaking of signing free agents I suppose.

    It is awesome, I really feel like we are on the brink of being respectable.

    Another prospect bat, a couple of the prospect pitchers hit . . .and one or two free agent signings and we could be back

    Not crazy talk... just don't see them over-spending for anybody (especially for somebody with diminishing returns, which unfortunately most high priced free agents suffer from).

    Much more likely to see the Cardinals-like model of being buyers at the deadline, and trading for guys prior to their free agency years (Mark McGwire, Scott Rolen, Matt Holiday).

    Then you attempt to re-sign them by using the lure of the city, with the promise of possible future immediate success.

    Hope he sticks around, he is a very good backup infielder. The kind of role player a good team needs

    If he walked more often, I wouldn't mind him as a backup (definitely not starting though).

    Absolutely not a starter.

    At best a late inning defensive replacement or injury replacement... of course, Bob Grossman needs to make the most of his second chance prior to the wave of call-ups in July.
