Pissy Drunk Guy Deep Thought for the Night

Do you realize that if, instead of Morris and Benitez, we had a replacement-level reliever and a replacement-level starter, we would have saved $12 million ($16 million AAV) while winning more games?

It's enough to make one ill.

Ill as well.
Thanks, that makes me feel a lot better.  At least we have some young pitching to build around.  Too bad we can't just steal Alex Gordon and a few of the D-Backs' position players.

16 million AAV?

Re: 16 million AAV?
Oh, okay. But I definitely think getting rid of Mando's attitude would be worth an extra $4 mil.

but
without Mando, we never could have experienced the happy mando/ flying baseballs drawing by Natto.  
2002? I'm over it.
