They need a dominant starter that can stop a losing streak. Giving Punto a $4 mil a year deal was dumb. And where is the $90 mil payroll they promised, looking at the team payroll they are playing like would be expected of the 7th lowest payroll team. Can only expect a bunch of no talent clowns to catch lightning in a bottle for so many years before they play to their expectations. Sorry to be negative but watching this is painful.
