I call them a poverty franchise, a lot of people shit on me for it but prove me wrong. Shatkins and Shitpile spent very little money in Cleveland, come here and everyone said to me "well look what they did in Cleveland" f*** Cleveland! Rogers got more money than God up here and we dont do anything with it. Is 500 mill over how many years a lot for a 1st basemen? Sure but you have to spend to compete with the Boston's Yankees' and other big markets.
Feel free to open up the wallet Atkins otherwise yeah, we will be the Expos A's and Pittsburgh's of baseball and develop guys only to lose them every 5-6 years.
