Astros98,

No need for that........

Let me offer some constructive criticism.

ARod will be a free agent after the season, so no one can trade for him after the season. Furthermore, Arod and Andruw Jones will cost roughly a combined 45 million a season. There is no way in hell McLane will spend that kind of jack.

Now, I do think we can swing for one of those guys given the amount of money we will clear (and the fact that attendance/TV money is on the rise). The question is who and how high are we willing to go.
I'm down with OBP (yeah you know me).
