I said even if we get the top 4 potentially available players (free agent or trade)- cespedes, sale, encarnacion, and chapman- BEFORE even considering the pieces we would need to trade away- we still aren't the best team.Daryl https://www.blogger.com/profile/12405687520642126665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-76617797111261611112016-10-23T17:09:46.601-04:002016-10-23T17:09:46.601-04:00And he really shouldn't this offseason unless ...And he really shouldn't this offseason unless it's on a closer. The free agent market is either old/older (Edwin Encarnacion) or they are marginal players looking to cash in big because of a weak market (Rich Hill). <br /><br />Chapman/Jansen/Melancon or bust if you ask me as far as major acquisitions.

They won 2 of 5 WS Gold Rings and that is why I say the Fans of today are spoiled!<br />Since 1996 to 2016 the team has made the playoffs every year other than 4 years,How many teams can point to that stat and beat it?<br />George spent a lot of $$$$$ and Farm Hands on some players that just couldn't cut it, well maybe I should say...as a winning team. In those years we did have many very good or star players and still the team sucked! Why? Very simple, the team was put together the wrong way!<br />George brought in a few (5/6) stares and the rest of the team was made up of what ever they could get by way of trades.<br />The farm system was devastated over those years by trading away our best for big names.<br />Now that the farm is producing some real talent we should only buy what we "Need, Not what we Want!<br />(My Opinion only)Ken Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07134936968221887101noreply@blogger.com
