Hoyer is a moron if he waits until after the lockout. It probably won't be over until late Feb.
Also, if IIRC, before the last lockout pretty much all the big names signed before it went into effect.
I'd probably be annoyed if, for example, Nico Hoerner was in the stands cheering on the Brewers. But other than a specific situation like that, I couldn't care less.
Who is Peralta's market going to be? Mets won't go there again, Dodgers/Yankees/Red Sox don't really need him. Orioles and Braves? Or does Reinsdorf finally open up the checkbook after the White Sox good season?
