I'm not sure they're willing to dedicate all that money, and they'd still be able to use some of the money saved on a 2nd rounder to take more signability selections later in the draft -- as they did last season once they realized they weren't signing crow.Chris Needhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10455692848328638937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1478750914084047598.post-56883318461184983122009-02-12T14:11:00.000-05:002009-02-12T14:11:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.An Briosca Morhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06855174362787324401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1478750914084047598.post-20719631321729593772009-02-12T10:43:00.000-05:002009-02-12T10:43:00.000-05:00I agree - it is very nice to have options.

With their extra major league talent on the roster waiting to be traded--I think getting Hudson for the short term doesn't fit anymore. They might be able to pick someone up in a trade better and younger. And still save their pick for good use in June.<BR/><BR/>And yeah, it was a good day yesterday.Screech's Best Friendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01094199653375184305noreply@blogger.com
