If they are waiting for a bigger name... then wait... don't spend the extra money and get an overaged guy....
What is the best that can happen?? He wins us about 4 more games thru his stick. That does not get us into playoff contention. That does not do anything of real signifigance.
That playtime could be better used on a young player. Those 4 losses that turn to wins could make the difference in about 4spaces in where we will be in the ammy draft. The extra money he costs will not be made up for in revinue. It is not like fans leap out of their seats (or into them in the stadium with extra tickets bought) because of Luis Gonzalez.
This is just basically a signing of an older and overrated player for no real reason, if it happens.
