No more scrolling back to see if someone replied to an earlier post in the middle of the thread. I always thought the old structure really needed a display option to sort posts by most to least recent. theer is one positive to the new format.

He'd come cheaper and with less of a commitment too! BTW, I would love Loretta for this team, he’s another one of those gritty, gutsy players that played well playing for Boston.

They could use a utility guy with some actual utility. Hudson is just a bad use of resources. Also overrated, on the down hill slide, over 30, and coming off mutilple hand/wrist injuries. Oh, and he ha no particular range left (based on the stats). And he will likely cost 2x what they are paying Castillo. Other than that, whats not to like? Especially when it means getting a guy like Garland instead of Sheets, and not even sniffing at Tex, since the budget is shot. Krdo IMO is going to be a bad deal financially, compared to what you could have gotten (production/$) elsewhere. But, I say sign him if it menas Omar will start making the other important moves. Closer wasn't the problem anyway (at least until Wags went down). And for the most part, K Rod did about what Wags did (or would have) last year. Gotta fix up the middle of the pen. That's where the damage occurred. Punto isn’t evena bad idea. They could use a utility guy with some actual utility.

I don't like the format either and I was just getting used to dealing with the words that don't post! lol I hope this is temporary and to pick this time during the Winter Meetings to change the format is crazy. Like everything else if I have to I'll live with it but I wish it would change back. :) Metsfan4decades; I see your point, I’m trying to figure it out myself.

I would just as soon to have Grudzy on a 1 year deal as Hudson on a 4 year deal. By the time that contract is up we will have a player worse than Grudzy is now and paying him 5 times as much. Get Lorrett or Grudzy to back up Castillo and see what happens with Slappy between now and May. I hate the Hudson idea.

Looks like no more convos for us! At least that anyone will be able to follow (as opposed to random posts in a string...) Still don't like the vibe coming through these rumors. Looks like Omar going for the 'trhwoing big $ at washed up big names" all over again. Hudson? not making a difference or really fixing a problem 9the way it should be). TRS- i don’t like it either.
