I agree, at this stage this is the beginning of the dance. At least we are assured of a sandwich pick if he signs elsewhere. I am ok with this as long as we don't go into the season with Gardner and Ichiro in the starting lineup. So right now, by my count we need...

Starting Pitchers min 2 or maybe 3
Relievers (2 lefthanders)
Closer (Maybe 1)
Catcher
2B ?, 3B (Add Ryan and another for depth)
RF
DH

That is a lot of holes to fill for a team that is suppose to be legit contenders...

...yeah, I think they'll be major players. (no pun intended)

...I still like Lowrie because he can play anywhere in the IF...and I'd like to see the Yanx snag him somehow...I know he's arby eligible, but still.

Fantastic news regarding Granderson, not at all surprised by Cano.... not surprised by Kuroda, but a little disappointed he didn't take it
