No kidding. This DH thing is getting ridiculous.
I agree-I'd rather have a known quantity than hoping one or several can put up Thome's reliable numbers

The danks deal puts us at like $99.5 Mil before we have to pay our 4 guys that will make the league min. That will put is right at like $101 mil. I doubt that there is still $4-6M sitting there for the DH position. JR has said if something too good to pass up comes along then the $$ will be there, but nothing on the FA market for a DH at the moment would qualify as too good to pass up. If Thome or Blalock asks for like 1 Year 2Mil...maybe I could see the sox pulling the trigger but I dont think they even looking to spend $5 Mil on a DH at this point.
They wont have to

I would take him in a heartbeat as our DH over the mediocrity we have right now.
You are being nice calling it mediocrity. The thought of being outgunned in our own park bothers me

It is uncapped, but people are actually expecting teams to spend less and not more because there is no floor.
Count on the Bears to spend less
