Certainly smells like another Troy Brouwer situation to me.
I'm sure that this team would perform the exact same if we didn't take him July 1st, and waited until maybe, I don't know, October at the least to start handing out roster spots to guys that have never played within this organization.

By October the guys that can actually improve the lineup are off the market.
I find this disconnect in logic to be hard to grasp.
We know the bottom two lines didn't produce last year.
Yet people are concerned about upgrading the spots with a player that has shown the ability to perform in that role?
I don't get it.
What are we hanging on to?
