Dollars to donuts our comp pick is in 50's... because at this point those are the teams willing to give up a pick and the money.

I'm no Glass defender by a long shot, but I seriously don't see how any bad words can be thrown in the front office direction on the Santana saga. We bought him cheap for a year, he gave us great production and we'll net an extra draft pick out of the whole situation. It's actually picture perfect and exactly what we'd have hoped for if having this conversation 12 months ago.
And as far as not forking over the $$ and signing him now? Well, he's "reportedly" going to get a deal for roughly the same as his QO from the Royals. NO ONE....especially Santana and his unemployed former agent, saw this coming. We couldn't have planned on that guy's stupid shenanigans. You have to put an offseason plan together and Ervin made it clear to the Royals he wanted multiple years for high dollars. That's where we move on and start assembling our starting 5, and take the comp pick to the bank. I see no cheap Glass, stupid Dayton here. And trust me, I'm often of the opinion they are incompetent.
