Well, based upon what FZ has NOT done, I believe our questions about this next season have been mostly answered.
Farhan will NOT part with the bucks needed to sign players that bring us up to the next level.
For me, what he has failed to do tells me this:
1-With the signing of Murphy we can expect more "Conner Joes" on our roster
2-Once again he FAILED to do what he promised; make us more athletic
3-Once again, he lied to us when he said he would do what was necessary for us to have a chance to win the division.
And foolishly, like the Beatles "Fool on the Hill," fans believed him.

And foolishly, like the Beatles "Fool on the Hill," fans believed him. The Connor Joe type players do not really bother me because they are usually making near the major league minimum. The guys that bother me are the La Stella, deSclafani, Conforto, Boyd, Rosenthal, Stripling, Joc, and Wood types which are expensive, old, and injury prone. Adding all those broken pieces up actually cost more last year than what Ohtani and Yamamoto are making this year. The rebound deals that FZ tends to make end up costing more and bringing in old, broken down, un-athletic players who live on the IL. I'm afraid the next few days are going to be really ugly and could torpedo the organization for the next decade if unchecked. |

Connor joe, Michael conforto, Tommy La stella, to me they're all the same.
They are money promised, they are not what we needed.
And like you I believe the next couple of days will determine if we're screwed or not. Which I think we are
And what will make matters worse is if he trades us some of our young pitching for a bat we don't need.

Yeah, this Sabermetrics nonsense has to end.
