Dawg I have zero problem with your assessment of the current Cardinal team and their shortcomings. Particularly at first base.

But this fantasy about how we could have signed him for less and how well it would have worked out for us if we signed him for anything is just wishful thinking.

First, HE WASN'T GOING TO SIGN without his shot at free agency. PERIOD. That's what he wanted, to prove his worth on the market. He was asked here 100 times about his chances of being a Cardinal and he had the same bs answer every time. Where are you getting this easy sign deal in your head? he wanted no part of that. None.

Secondly, the guy, right now, can't play first everyday. No where near it. He's played first FOUR times this year, 28 times last year. WTF would he be doing for us if he can't play the field???

And like I said, if that foot issue fires up he's on the DL for 30 days minimum and or he won't be able to hit the broad side of a barn.

There's plenty to biatch about in Cardinal land, but this ain't one of 'em.

I'm done.
