That's a dime a dozen around here and hardly makes you unique. The very fact that you're posting on a message board means you probably like to discuss the way a team is assembled. Mere passion doesn't mean you know any more than anyone else here. Which brings me to this.. If you think Alex Cobb at the deal he just got is some huge missed opportunity, an occurrence so rare it needed to be pounced on, then I'll just say that you're not making a strong case to quit your day job. My goodness, since when did Alex Cobb become such a field-tilting talent? And how is Matt Arnold not aware of such greatness having a front row seat to Cobb's development in Tampa? Who would've thunk someone would be willing to make Alex Cobb's 2018 free agency the hill they choose to die on? Yeesh I think the reason so many are irked, are not because Cobb is great, because he isn't, but because this was the last guy out there. There is a finality to Cobb's signing. This is it. Now all the hope about adding a starter is gone atm. People finally realize that we are not adding anybody. They didn't wanna believe DS, when he said he was happy with the rotation going in. Now they have no choice but to believe him and in him. Maybe some of these people are just pessimists in life, I for one am going to be an optimist going into this year...which is never the case for me. I believe in DS
