[QUOTE="Emerson Bigguns, post: 1632736, member: 666858"] I think the front office's priority will be to improve the long term outlook of the franchise, rather than try to chase a wild card birth. I think they have done a reasonable job of putting together a competitive team with very limited resources this offseason. (especially the bullpen, which I assumed would be terrible) The quarter of a billion dollar question is, what is the salary budget moving forward? If the team starts playing well is keeping KB, Baez, Rizzo, & Contreras long term even financially feasible? Are these guys consistent and healthy enough at this stage to be worth the dollars they will command on the open market? KB is actually playing like a star the 1st month and a half of the season, is it a foregone conclusion that he won't be on the team in August? (As most assume) Hard to tell where Jed is going to land on these questions. [/QUOTE]
