    Jered Weaver ($4,265,000)

    When the FO makes a move that i don't like, I don't change my mind just because they go ahead with the move. You seem to have a compulsion to like FO moves even when you didn't think it was the right move. You thought Crawford was overrated: You viewed him as more flash than substance: You clearly thought he was too expensive:

    I forgot that the first $52 million on Matsuzaka wasn't real money. As for the FO doing a good job, you always make this into a black and white case. I've posted this thought over and over again. On balance this FO has done a very good job IMO. They have had missteps along the way. Lugo, Renteria, and Wily Mo to mention a few. I neither like nor dislike the individuals in the FO. I judge them based on the moves that they make. This off season I have really, really liked what they have done. You and others are not big fans of the Crawford move. I don't accuse you of hating Theo or being unduly critical of the FO, because you don't like the move. You have your reasons for being skeptical about the deal. What I find amusing is the thought that Theo has a shared philosophy with certain message board posters. We can all play a game of guessing what they will do, but we are not behind the scenes, and their strategy clearly changes from year to year. This year they saw big value in expensive FA acquisitions, and the Crawford move is a move that I touted while you and others scoffed at it.

    He spent $104 million on Dice K, and only a week before the Crawford signing, he was willing to commit about $150 million to AGon. You and others have been projecting your own philosophies to Theo. Clearly, you were wrong.

    Regarding the bold portion of your post, I fully realize this. If Crawford bombs, it will be interesting to see if Theo gets criticized. I know that I will be mocked, but the FO ballwashers will find a way to exonerate Theo. That should be hysterical. Of course , if the move works out, everyone will say that they always knew it would be a great move. You are big into pointing out hypocrisy, so I am sure you will spot it.

    I'm chomping at the bit. I would have thought we'd have been through at least 3 rounds already.

    After we get through the first round, do we go in reverse order for the second round?
