  • Tim Flannery is the biggest loss of the off-season
  • Pablo didn't want to come back.
  • Michael Morse wanted to live in Florida where he's from with his wife and newborn baby.
  • Jon Lester would not have cost us a 1st round pick in June draft.
  • James Shields & Max Sherzer would have cost us our 1st round pick.
  • Jon Lester took richest offer. 
  • Casey McGehee and Nori Aoki are 1 year options that create depth & flexibility
  • If we need to upgrade during the season, McGehee & Aoki could be great bench options too.
  • Gregor Blanco and Juan Perez having better competition than Gary Brown is a good thing.
  • Adam Duvall and Chris Dominguez having more competition to make team is good too.
  • Jake Peavy for an entire year will be great for our staff off the field as well as on.
  • Bringing back a motivated Sergio Romo could make him elite vs RH again.
  • Tim Lincecum motivated to earn another contract can be a great thing.
  • Tim Hudson needs Derek Jeter treatment from the fanbase in final year.
  • That's $30M we can move around and add players with in 2016.
  • Marco Scutaro wants to play, and if he somehow gets healthy, what a bat off the bench.
  • Angel Pagan and Matt Cain coming back is huge.
  • Brandon Belt and Brandon Crawford are still getting better.
  • Having Andrew Susac and Hector Sanchez could mean more time at 1st for Buster Posey.
  • Our bullpen will still have Jeremy Affeldt, Javy Lopez and Santiago Casilla
  • We will be getting a full season of Joe Panik
  • We still have Hunter Pence
  • And we still have Madison Bumgarner
  • And we still have Bruce Bochy
  • And we still have Brian Sabean, Bobby Evans, Dick Tidrow and John Barr
  • Oh, and we are the defending Champs! "I know, because I won" ~ Barack Obama
