If its either or, Hendriks is the choice.  He makes the pen pretty stellar.  Brantley would be nice but a placeholder DH can take many forms.

If we are looking into signing a DH does this mean Schwarber and possibly Cruz are also in play on 1 year deals?

What is the cheapest option for the least amount of years.  Thats our choice.  We are all in for 2021, not so much for 2022.

This is like saying I love the best of restaurants meanwhile your budget says the white castle single is technically from a cow so its filet mignon just like the finest of steak houses.

Apparently he left it open too long and Adam Eaton snuck in instead of a good RF.

I think we need to be a little more patient here. It's best to wait and see how they finish off the roster. I love the Lynn deal, meh on Eaton, and hopeful for Hendriks and a DH. This isn't good enough, but that offseason will do I suppose.

Rick please blink twice if you are under duress.  Blink three times if JR or TLR are right behind you.

The WS MO for years.  Why get one really good superstar when you can get a bunch of third tier lightning in a bottle types.  More players are better than superstars.

Timmy is gonna be our Walter Payton - god be willing. My uncles still sit around the holiday dinner table reminding me that Walter was the back up place kicker and the 3rd string QB.

"Did you know that Walter was as good as Adam Vinatieri and Peyton Manning but he wanted to be Jim Brown instead!?!?! Amazing Athlete."

In twenty years I'm gonna be my uncles:

"Did you know Tim Anderson was compared to Buster Posey and Mark Salas, but wanted to be Ozzie Smith! Amazing athlete and individual!"

I mean, we have to add another starting pitcher unless we want the year with Stiever as our #6 starter.

If they closed out the off season with this, I would be satisfied. I don't think they are done. While I'm on the fence regarding giving up Dunning for Lynn, I'm hoping Eaton is the only signing I hate when the dust clears.
