I don't mind Happ, but why did they trade for Chavez if they were going to sign him? Happ is a good #4 or #5, but if you really mean to start Chavez, why not spend 20M on Maeda or Shark instead of 12M on Happ? It would be 8M well spent over the course of a season, and placate the fans, as well.
And if they go out and get another starter, that puts Chavez in the pen as a long man, where I would prefer Hendricks. Happ is not going to the pen at 12M. That is elite closer money.
