You're suggesting 3/4 of the payroll be in four players? Kepler's pay is already eaten by raises for existing players. How do you plan to pay Lewis, Ober, and Ryan? And Jeffers? And Jax and Duran? And add any players in free agency in that timeframe?
Agreed. But they are eight deep right now.... Most teams couldn't dream of that.
We clearly didn't like the off season or trade deadline, but you swing and missed on the point completely.
He hasn't played even half a year in three years. Signing him is a huge risk for a team on a tight budget, which they are with Lopez, CC, and Buxton all signed. Not to mention Ryan and Ober...
I'm sure people will complain the team doesn't have enough pitching.... They are down three starters, pretty much no team has that much depth. Not that I liked the original plan....
