Jack has continued to collect cheap, effective SP via trade (Vargas, Beaven, and Furbush) and through the draft (Paxton and Hultzen).
When I look at the SP and 'pen, I am left wondering where the M's are going to spend their $ if not on Fielder.
The M's, playing half of their games in a pitchers park, NEED elite hitters. We have all seen what the Safe does to good-but-not-great hitters. Elite batsmen are worth more to the M's than to any other team in the AL. Fielder seems to me to be the kind of special batter that can overcome the home field.
I hope Z is able to take advantage of the pile of cheap SP and RP and invest the M's cash in the kind of hitter they need.
