We are out of signing money by now, I should think. The small amount of
extra salary going to a position upgrade would be negliable I would think.
Boogaard is a true heavyweight and an enforcer....top 10 kind of guy.
Eager....while...uh..."eager" to make his mark as such, has yet to prove he
can belong in that top class. You really think Hatcher is going to throw
hands anymore? I Don't think so. Can't say I know enough about Smith but
the skinny on him is....tough...gamer.......but fighter? Plus you need him
to steady the lines and game....not be in the box. Same with Hatcher
especially on the PK.The fans need someone who can hit a "homerun" and raise
the roof....and it's really not Eager.
