I got caught up in the "He's 2 years removed from TJ surgery; they've invested while he's injured, time to reap the benefits" fallacy. I was wrong, as was the FO. There's nothing wrong with taking a risk if you are willing to accept the consequences. It was a risk to sign Pelf tom 2 year contract. Nothing wrong with it, if you're willing to accept that it was a mistake and move on. Eat the contract, it's 11 mil, a big chunk of $, but not insurmountable. the same with Correia. He was the most reliable pitcher on the roster last year, and the contract looked good. This season, not so much. So you gambled and lost, nothing wrong with it if you "know when to hold'em know when to fold'em know when to walk away and know when to run" time to fold regarding Correia and Pelfrey
