This Hubaloo about Greg's option is Much Ado about Nothing, IMO. He's a known quanity. 90% of the time you'll get 6 innings with 2-4 runs given up. Sometimes a little better sometimes a little worse. He doesn't get hurt and he doesn't miss starts. He puts the team in a decent position to win a game. There is no salary cap in baseball. The few million dollars he is getting overpayed is inconsequential, IMO. It's not like he is a complete dead weight out there. The guy is going to make every start this year and probably win 15 games. We could do a lot worse. Could we do better? Sure. I just thing there are much more important things to be critical about with this team than Maddux.

I think the issue here is that this will never happen. Do you see Dusty playing Hairston full time in LF? I don't. Just because Dusty won't put Hairston in LF doesn't mean you go out and get somebody he will play who won't be much better. This stinks of the Bellhorn deal. Dusty refused to play Bellhorn, so Hendry goes out and gets Hernandez. I agree. It sucks.
