I feel like his intent was to live with it. Josh's agent blew it for us. I don't say blew it for Josh, because he got his mega deal, but I truly feel he soured the whole situation. To the point, it seems, that Gettleman just said, fug it.
The position isn't as important in the scheme we run, true, but that doesn't mean you ignore it. We still have to have the players there, and my assumption is, that he liked the young talent in the draft, more than the vets in FA. Maybe they fit better, than those on the open market.
