Started to regularly read Dave O’Brien’s AJC.com column. Some that post comments aren’t reading O’Brien’s posts very carefully…guess some are just more emotional than analytical. One guy said we should’ve kept Giles, Glavine, Maddux, Sheffield, Furcal, Farnsworth, and Millwood. I figure just to pay the seven he mentioned would take over 90 million a year…and the team wouldn’t be as good as it is today. Add Andruw, Smoltz, Hampton, and Chipper (there would be no Hudson or Wickman) and the payroll would be over 120 million for 11 guys.
I’m a recent convert to DOB, and am quickly learning to do the same…scrolling through the posts to find his updates. I’m not wise to the music references. Does look like JS is focused on pitching.
With the increased MLB revenues, perhaps JS is saving up to make a run at Andruw. Houston and the LAD will tempt, especially the Astros short LF porch and deep pockets. Or JS could lock up JF, LaRoche, and McCann instead. Can’t blame JS for not overpaying for average talent. Next postseason could be even more interesting.
