It is quite obvious that I'm not going to sit here and chart out my expected revenues, attendance levels and liquidity based upon the non-signings of those guys. And I am definitely not going to try and measure something that can't be measured.

But I would have to say that, knowing what we know now, these signings didn't work out as expected by some. And they have had a negative impact on the franchise as a whole.
Really, hmm don't know what people expected but i'd say sans Harangs roller coaster ride courtesy of Baker it's turned out as well as could be expected for Arroyo, BP and Cordero. And despite his W-L record Harang hasn't been a complete bust. I just don't know that anyone could have expected better as a whole from these guys and if so they were kidding themselves from the beginning.
