And once again, I would say nothing except putting himself in a position that he can't fix what's wrong with his team vis a vis this particular market.
I know what you're asking yourself and the answer is yes. I have a nick name for my penis. Its called the Octagon, but I also nick named my testes - my left one is James Westfall and my right one is Doctor Kenneth Noisewater.

Why not Ichiro for CF? Dude can still hit and he's durable.
This is a simple game. You throw the ball, you hit the ball, you catch the ball.

I would say that's only viable if they sign Hamilton, but even then I don't know if they'd do it as Ichiro and Hamilton are both LHB

I don't even know what I want to happen at this point (other than Hamilton). I'm don't want Pagan but I'm afraid that him going to SF means a massive overpay for Bourn. Help.

Well that's one less Bourn suitor. I wonder if he wants to come here and if that can override Boras' normal antics (in light of the Madson thing)

Off season strategy to get PAID
1. Go to Rube, get big offer
2. Force another team to meet or beat said offer
3. Profit
you sure do seem to have a lot of time on your hands to be on this forum? Do you have a job? Are you a shut-in?

Unless Ruben becomes decidedly "not Ruben," I don't see how this doesn't end up with Hamilton in Philly.

I won't mind that 6th year when he has 30 HRs in June.
