I don't get why you're making excuses for the front office, they whiffed along with 29 other teams on Chapman and Yu, but this club needed to take that risk? Attracting FA's is obviously troublesome, along with guys in trade, this was/is the market Toronto should be Targeting, what about Tanaka/Ishikawa/Ichiro, or Maeda about to be posted among others? We've missed on a bunch of Cubans to boot. It's all hind sight now for the clubs that missed the boat, but it doesn't excuse anyone of them, this is their business, is it not?
