I think AM is smart. He is just really cheap IMO. The team he built for last season when healthy did do pretty damn good once everyone came off the DL. I don't think we are nearly as far away as a lot of people think. It's just a matter of opening the checkbook and getting the OK from Angelos if we will ever become a good team or not.


sums up the last 13 years lol.'
but yea, with what we have right now, we could produce a .500 team (well thats with them signing a 1st basemen)

We've spent the last 13 years just haven't spent wisely. We haven't spent at all since AM took over though.

haha true. The funny thing is I feel like AM wants to spend, but he moves at such a snails pace. It looks like he may be trying to change that this year. Either that or he knows he could lose his job (doubtful though).

Very happy we are close to signing Koji. As long as he stays healthy, he will post solid numbers like usual.

Well, his contract is up at the end of the year. Who knows if he even wants to come back or not. So far in terms of W/L he has been the worst GM in the history of the organization.

FML if we trade for Kawakami


Kawakami is a solid pitcher, especially at like 1.5 mil or w/e you would be paying.. would be a steal.
Kawakami faced aces almost every game he started the last 2 years.

His era was over 5 in the NL ... I don't even wanna think about what it would be in the AL.

he would get rocked in the AL East . I like him in the NL as a solid 4th pitcher, but I would rather have our current rotation then bring him in. imo Matusz/Guthrie/Arrietta/Bergesen and tillman/britton would be fine or better then what Kawakami would bring.
