Suddenly they're frugal and content with a quiet offseason.
Give me a break.

I don't get that. I am glad we did not get Crawford. Don't get me wrong I love Crawford but not a 7 year contract. 3 years? AMAZING Contract. 4 years: Still pretty good. By year five he'll be reaching his decline if he doesn't get it even sooner.
I am not glad that we didn't get Lee or Crawford. I am glad that we don't have Crawford for 7 years. Lee would have been excellent to have but we have other options.
And I'm not ready to call it a "Quiet off season" just yet. We just signed Martin. We might just be coming out of the gate slow. Let's see if they really wow someone and trade for a Josh Johnson or something. (Even though we'd get pretty fleeced for him)
