This Is Kind Of A Response To Coachg3's Post

We are not the Yankees.  If we go out and sign, and trade for big money players what happens in 3,4,5 years when they are done.  If we trade for a guy like Peavy for example we have just drastically hurt are farm.  Once our big money guys retire we can't just sign more when they are done because nobody except the yankees can go do that.  Thats the thing if we have a good farm we can be good for along time, once our prospects come up we can just keep building, and building.  But if we spend money on free agents we lose draft picks and farm players and we MIGHT have a good 2 or 3 year run but after that we have to start all over again with a few miserable seasons.

Sorry this was a very poorly written post. I’m kind of preoccupied with other stuff at the moment. I was just trying to get a point across. Plus it’s funny to see how the trolls react to this.

Out of curiosity

Don’t you think it might have been a good idea to put this “IN” his post?

You know, I was going to write the exact same thing…

I guess I should be one to talk.
There's nights that I can't even walk.
There's days I couldn't give a fuck.
And in between is where I'm stuck.

Been studying Bigjoe’s posts … I guess if you’re going to do something you might as well emulate the best, right?

Well I didn’t really realize it until I read it again.
