I agree honestly. I admit I started a topic with Hurl that has too many "if" and speculations and the team could just be waiting for everything else to play out.
Right now the parameters include filling in two bullpen spots (Cecil and Storen likely gone), potentially 2 OF positions (Saunders/Bruce future in question and Bau) and potentially the rotation as well (Chaven & Dickey could be gone, Hutch could falter, Sanchez proves he belongs in the pen, etc.).
There are too many question marks for this team heading into next season that must be addressed before investing in a luxury like Jose. That doesn't mean they can't, just other things have higher priority.
