In a vacuum, the Grabow signing isn't a big deal. But when the team has repeatedly said it doesn't have payroll flexibility and Hendry has a history of signing Miles, Neifi, Blanco, Howry, Eyre, etc. (I'm forgetting some others) to multi year deals the Grabow signing is the straw that broke the camel's back.

On second thought, the Grabow signing sucks if looked at in a vacuum too. We could have offered him arbitration and paid him about the same for one year instead of two. I guess you could say it was a gamble because we'd save $1M next year if he is successful this year. But it's an unnecessary gamble.

Let me also say that I respect your arguments and appreciate your informed baseball opinion.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Coldneck, thank you for perfectly summing up the Hendry mindset. It's something a Sox fan can't fathom, which is why Cherpie loves O'l Jim so much.

That's awfully douchey of you KB...I can't disagree with you without "not being able to understand" or "loving o'l Jim"? Fuck off.
