If they closed out the off season with this, I would be satisfied. I don't think they are done. While I'm on the fence regarding giving up Dunning for Lynn, I'm hoping Eaton is the only signing I hate when the dust clears.

I would be too. My phone is really loading slow right now with all these posts. Lol

Really just want Hahn to say "we don't believe in handing out starting jobs in the offseason, but there can be exceptions. And that exception is Yermin Mercedes will be the starting DH for this team, his minor league stats will translate exactly, and everyone on the internet was right about everything."

Timmy is gonna be our Walter Payton - god be willing. My uncles still sit around the holiday dinner table reminding me that Walter was the back up place kicker and the 3rd string QB.

"Did you know that Walter was as good as Adam Vinatieri and Peyton Manning but he wanted to be Jim Brown instead!?!?! Amazing Athlete."

In twenty years I'm gonna be my uncles:

"Did you know Tim Anderson was compared to Buster Posey and Mark Salas, but wanted to be Ozzie Smith! Amazing athlete and individual!"

Payton actually played QB in at least one game for the Bears. He wasn’t the starter, and it was basically a wildcat, but he was the QB.

Baseball fans love to see movement. I think that it is as opposed to the actual move itself.

Lynn will be our number 2 and Eaton can rebound and be decent. I wanted Bauer or Springer and it is clear we aren't getting them. Eaton is decent as a RF option like all of the other non Springer guys. There are still more moves to be made and we hoped for more, but with a few more moves we can be an AL force.

If you told me before this all went down...you will get
A. Springer and a cheap Starter (project or Gio type)
B. Bauer and almost nothing other than a really cheap RF, or
C. Lynn, Eaton, Hendricks and potentially Brantley for DH...

I think it starts to look like a better plan. I dislike the Eaton deal because I think he could have been had cheaper, but 4 players compared to 2 could work and fills in the holes
