OOh. Word is we put in a 4 year / $60mm+ offer to Melancon. Let's see what develops. Apparently Giants, Nationals and one other team right now...

Melancon and Jansen would be solid.

What about Neftali Feliz?

quoting myself... because I said Melancon. Hope it works out. I think it's a solid move.

Should be a solid move. Hoping he provides value for all four years. Bullpen looks like it's all taken care of.

Now let's see if they stand lay, or if they do something about LF. In other words, will they let Parker/Williamson get a chance to earn a starter's spot, or pursue a trade/FA signing? With the limit, maybe the kids should play...but if McCutcheon can come play Left...well I wouldn't argue...

Solid move. Glad they didn't go Chapman or Davis.

Now...about left field...

Nice! I wonder if other fans will ask if you're related to Chris or something. LOL

Thanks! Although i'll "guess" that most people won't bother asking, since i'm a little Asian man at 5'4" vs. the 6' 3" of Chris Heston

Although i'm not that much lighter than him--thank you middle age!!!

back on topic...wonder what, if anything we'll do.

As mentioned above, LF and 3B, and CF platoon are all possibilities that we could still be shopping for. My guess is that we'll be "opportunistic" (think end of January at the earliest, if not closer to March) and that the "main shopping" is done. Time to check the value aisle and head towards the back and center of the store...
