Gaudin was a mistake by Hendry and has been acknowledged as such. Those funds went directly towards signing Bradley and towards the escalating salaries for all the backended contracts. It's simple math, it's perfectly clear and it's not really debatable. The fact that some people here refuse to acknowledge it or can't comprehend it, doesn't mean that's not what happened.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
DeRosa was replaced by Aaron Miles. You can't take Miles' salary out of the equation.

Don't trade DeRosa and don't sign Miles and the rest of those moves (Marquis, Wood, Gregg) can still happen.

$2.5m (or $3M) is still the amount of money we saved by trading DeRosa.
