    All you have to do is take a look at a small sample of the outpouring of support he's received amongst his peers, even those that weren't his former teammates to understand how great of a guy he was. If you're opposed to gay marriage that doesn't automatically make you a terrible person.

    People need to get over his personal opinions. Just like actors or singers, it really doesn't matter what their personal opinions are. There's many out there that agree with Hunter's view of gay marriage. If anything I applaud him for speaking honestly on the topic only AFTER a member of the media asked him specifically about it.

    I edited my above post as I see that he did mention offense, but as I said why would you only take offense into consideration when Hunter wasn't signed to be the primary DH? UZR is far from perfect but to completely discredit it in order to try and make Hunter look better than he was last year doesn't make sense either. By pretty much any defense metric you choose to you, Hunter's defense was atrocious last season.

    Why would we only take offense into consideration when he isn't going to be a primary DH? Let's take a look at those AL outfielders who ranked ahead of him in WAR last season: Trout Brantley Gordon Bautista Zobrist A. Jones Cruz Ellsbury Calhoun Y. Martin Cespedes Jennings Gardner Eaton M. Cabrera Markakis Moss Aoki Ackley Fowler De Aza A. Jackson C. Crisp That is 23. There are 15 teams in the AL meaning 45 OF spots. Ranking 24th of 45 would put him in the middle of the pack.

    How is it a statement to lower your payroll to $83 million where it ranked 23rd in the entire league? If making a statement in your mind led them to yet another 90+ loss season, then I believe you better reassess your definition of making a statement. I get it you try to look at things positively but at the end of the day sometimes you need to call a spade a spade. Nick - nice article. I agree in that a potential surplus in starting pitching would be a nice change. If everyone actually turns out, you can always either use the depth throughout the season with injuries or else flip one or two of them for a decent return.
