I don't think Kuroda will take a pay cut to return, especially not after what he's contributed the last 2 years. I think Gardner will get at least 4 years and more per year. I think McCann will get at least 4 years. Morales AND Overbay?...one of them would be more than enough.
Cano and Choo are signing that cheap? doubt it. Logan annoys me, he's not clutch, gets beat by guys like Ortiz in big spots, but he is good on most days so I can't argue to not keep him, but another lefty would be nice. Robertson, Kuroda, Nix, yes, of course. Gardner I'm on the fence with, he's good, not great, I'd like NY to get an All Star type leadoff that can steal bases without getting injured. McCann's vision problems concern me, and his cost, also you may want to wait until we see JR Murphy to make that call, I know he's another kid that will probably look lost in the majors, but you never know.

[...Ortiz has punked Mo and many other good pitchers in big spots. Robertson, Kuroda, Nix, yes, of course. Gardner I'm on the fence with, he's good, not great, I'd like NY to get an All Star type leadoff that can steal bases without getting injured. ...Who is this mystery All Star leadoff man who can steal bases without getting injured? McCann's vision problems concern me, and his cost, also you may want to wait until we see JR Murphy to make that call, I know he's another kid that will probably look lost in the majors, but you never know. ...what vision problems?...and McCann will already be signed by someone by the time Murphy is called up.
