I'm agree. Totally agree. But Madson and Garza won't clogg our "future" in the way I see the thing. They are solid pieces. And with them you can win this season as well. These acquisitions won't make you weaker in the future, but the opposite.

This pitching staff is affordable.

If LL is who made/is currently making the "big moves", fine, charge him for good or for bad. If this team fails agin, then...he shall walk as well. He won't have more scapegoats. If true, I don't have clear what is the role of our GM. Top elite VP's assistant?

7 vs 3 in a tougher division/environment put the thing in an incomparable scenario. Pap has already a prestige in the league. Bailey still needs to earn it.

I don't want him as a Starter. I don't want another Bard case in our rotation. I want him as a closer. My nice to have is: Beckett Lester Buch 1. Garza/ 2. Jackson/ 3. Kuroda beyond the price vs years/trade implications Bard Madson Bailey Melancon Aceves Etc. I know, I know it's a pipe dream. But with this pitching staff, even pumpsie would be very confident about next season.

Sounds Crazy but Madson still available and Garza still a possibility.

Totally agree, I've been saying that, BUT we need that this happens, otherwise we will be in jeopardy.

Exactly.

Yes, Bard and Pap are better than Melancon and Bailey, regardless they will pitch in a tougher environment but they can fit well. We have 3 SPs who are prone to injuries. Bard is a mystery as a Starter. The #5 spot still a mystery as well. If Aceves takes that spot, our BP is a mystery too. Yes, This offseason hasn't been encouraging. Hopefully, all those question marks play in our favor.

1. He should be Salty's backup, by now. 2. He should be our next titular DH/catcher in the mid/long future. 3. I see a solid power batter with a respectable defense as a catcher. No a super star but above the average as a catcher. Unless... They use him as a key piece in order to bring a solid SP.

As long we don't give up Lav, Kal and Mid, It's ok for me.

what about trying with Iglesias at times this year.
-
Crawford better come back. Youk better be in shape. Buch better be healthy. Beckett better be solid. Bard better fit well. Our BP better be consistent, etc.

We can resume 2011 team like this. We have almost the same 2011 "TEAM" now. Somethings have to change around. Some have changed. Theo is gone. Tito is gone. Our coaching staff and medical staff has gone. I still believe that this team has an elite core. I'm confident about this team as long as you bring me the goddamn SP and the extra-baseball change (attitude, team-working, professionalism, etc.) otherwise we will be in jeopardy again. 2011 team in the paper arguably was more talented than 2004. I actually believe that. Some called 2011 team as the best RS team ever. But a completely different thing is saying that 2011 team was better than 2004 team.

Are you saying that 2004 team was lucky because didn't have injuries? Whata about saying that they worked better their physical conditioning/shape, not beer and chicken, discipline, professionalism, commitment, team-working, etc, etc. etc. I like stats but As I said, not everything is stats. 2004 team was a one pice engine in every aspect, reason why makes it a better team. 2011 wasn't. Unfortunately, you can't compare them in neutral environments, since they already had their particular environments. Which environment was more favorable? nobody knows. The only thing you can do is look at the BL. 2004 succeeded. 2011 didn't. I'm not sure why we want to compare a team which got a ring against another which didn't even made the POs.
