Yeah, I know it's reactionary and silly, but at some point reality has to set in and we have to realize we aren't as close as we'd hoped. We've got a lot of great young parts - but we need more.

It's not that I disagree with your concern about Gio's contract, but your strategy for dealing with Gio's bad contract is signing Shattenkirk or Burns to an even worse contract in free agency?? Those guys are going to get paid.
