Seriously, there is about $25 million in unspent payroll. If $105 million is the too-low cap, then there is plenty of room to improve the rotation with a free agent signing, if Nutting is so inclined. The free agent market may be a good investment right now.

I agree with CtBucco.With Nutting's financial constraints, need an A+! One example is Happ. Obtained him, turned him around, and didn't bother to resign him .Two out of three is pretty good, but not good enough!

Harrison will want to stay now that we signed Dickerson. After we sign Arrieta, he will ask to extend his extension!

Polanco, because he learns to shorten his swing and get a higher launch angle. Frazier hits 320 and competes for a batting title but is short on 502 plate appearances. Marte improves laugh angle and hits 29 homers. Moran hits like Madlock. JT comes in 3rd for Cy Young!

Now that we added Dickerson, how about a starting pitcher named Jake. Do more than compete....Win!!!

Bobster, you convinced me . Enough is enough.

<t>PMike hit the nail on the head. Leaders lead. Period. Cutch was a leader. When Chapman beaned him a few years back, the Bucs did not retaliate. Cutch was angry. His next game, he was swinging so hard, he hurt his rib. AJ Burnett would have nailed the next Red up if he had been pitching. Hurdle ba...

I agree with Bobster on mootness. Concussions are an issue, and can't really be avoided, but he could do a better job on protecting his right hand.

WAR is a total projection for first 6 seasons. As noted KATOH is very conservative estimate given the number one KATOH is only 13.3. Perhaps Stallings is more than we thought.

<t>Based on production last two seasons, KATOH predicts WAR during first 6 seasons. Conservative insofar as Acuna is #1 with 13.3 WAR:<br/> <br/> 18. Hayes 8.0 WAR<br/> <br/> 19. Tucker 7.9 WAR<br/> <br/> 27. Meadows 7.2 WAR<br/> <br/> 46. Kellar 5.5 WAR<br/> <br/> 57. Stallings 5.0 WAR<br/> <br/> 7...
