Let's look back in the past less than one year. In order to get Kevin Correia, the DEFINITION of league average, we had to give him two years. Hometown connection or not, we're still going to have to overpay to get Josh Johnson. I like the 1 year plus options route, but honestly, if we had to guarantee him as many as three years, I say go for it. We've got money to spend. You don't spend FA money on the "one piece", you spend FA money on building certainty, something to build around.

I made an account just to say this was a great read and really helpful to put the Deduno hype in perspective.

Why not start Pelfrey on the DL and let the young ones duke it out?
