Discouraging

First we sign Hernandez to the one year $2.75 million deal.

Then we offer Bill Mueller 3 years at $4 million each, a deal that will take Mueller through the age of 38 and we will have to give up a draft pick to complete since Mueller was offered arbitration by the Red Sox.

And Tracy-ball.

Despite all the progress it seemed like we made at the Winter Meetings, I'm getting a sinking feeling in my stomach with three words swimming in my head.

Same. Old. Pirates.
