It is too bad that we didn't spend that money on a good CB, but not sure anyone could have predicted all the injuries or how badly Zav and Haggs would be without Moor. Remember it was our scouting and GM that built the team that won the treble, including bringing in Vazquez, who was a risky signing, like Aketxe--that is what happens when you take risks to bring in quality--sometimes it doesn't work out. I respect that the team decided to cut its losses and move on, rather than continuing to try and make it work.
