I think the fans legit want AA to experiment with a guy like Jose. Sure, end of the year, it might not pan out, but then again, to get a 3B man next year, you're going to pay about $5M anyhow, so why not?

  - I never heard anything serious beyond AA was asking top price for him and Downs, with only slightly less for Fraser and Buck. - Name Withheld By Request Aug 12, 13:25 2
    - I guess. AA seems like a smart guy, but he did trade for that CF who can't hit. (nm) - musubi Aug 12, 13:29 1
      - Jury's out, but for the fact that his moves have hit fairly well thus far, I'm going to assume that there might be something there. - Name Withheld By Request Aug 12, 13:36
this is the Chicago Cubs theory of signing players. - groiny Aug 12, 13:19 1
