Nice one. A lot of exclamation points though.

Why not wait a year and see if Dozier can duplicate his production? They could have just as easily made a similar deal next year at this time with a whole lot more information and with little downside. It just seems to continue the trend of the organization buying high on players after their career years. Granted, this is not a huge mistake as the money is not unreasonable. It just seems to be another in a long line of missteps by the Front Office.

I expect Milone will get the 5th starter job. The fact he's a lefty was always going to tilt things in his favor as long as he didn't implode this spring which he clearly hasn't. Though they may not admit it, they surely want a lefty presence in their starting rotation even if Milone gets slightly outperformed by one of the other contenders. Of course I could be very wrong, but that's what I'd put money on if I had to.
