I don't get the Duda addition.

If you're bringing in a vet lefty bat, why not spend a bit more and get Morrison? Just don't get it.

$3 million is not a make or break. And if it is, you should be going with the young guy, anyway.

I wonder what happened to the kid we traded away for Burns? Wasn't he a rookie the year he was traded?

I question much of what we are doing, especially keeping Duffy and Herrera on a Team that is probably going to win 70 games/yr for the next couple years

Brett Eibner, I think? Was cut/traded by the A's. Ended up with the Dodgers. Not sure where he is now. More than likely gonna be a lifetime JAG.

Why do you think Morrison is worth so much more on a 1-year deal on a team that's going nowhere? Why does age make a difference?

Because he's a better player than Duda and a local kid. Also someone who could have been signed a 2-3 year bridge pretty easily.

When I referenced age, I was signing that if $3 million is a make or break, just go with the young guy - as in Dozier/Cuthbert.

While he was better last year... the difference brtween them is negligible. Duda has a higher career war, for that matter... I think.

How is he a better player than Duda? Because he changed his launch angle - so he can become the hitter that Duda already is? Is that worth $3 million more?

People here are so hung up on Logan Morrison. Who gives a shit on a team that's gonna lose 90+ games over the next year or two (at minimum)? I'd much rather see a 26-year-old Dozier full-time to find out if he's worth a shit and whether we need to move on from him sooner rather than later.
