I know some like to think that every decision made by an organization is based on statistical fact and conducted in a data-bubble...truth is it's not Mauer will be an icon signing...local boy...MVP...face of the franchise...Well Played Mauer and my guess is he'll finish his career a one team guy. Hope is that it's for as little as possible agreed As for the realistic-ness of Realmuto and Machado my point is both are bold moves at a time when it might be possible to pull them off...I'm fine with a Jack Morris move for Machado, OVERPAY for a couple years and a chance at the Big Ring...ask what it will take and give him a couple Million more Prospects are just that, Prospective Players that people hope turn out to be something special...for every Berrios there's three-times as many Willie Banks...Frankie Rodriquez...types that never do pan out Just tired of pushing the Window/Goal Posts back another year and another year and another year
