The next question for Doug is where to go from here having spent most of his available money on Randy Wolf (3yrs 29.75 mil) and LaTroy Hawkins (2yrs 7.5 mil). Rather than continue to discuss as to whether too much was given to either of the players what do you do if you're Melvin having said he wanted two starting pitchers in the offseason?

While I don't know what non-tender is in reference to with regards to Bush if it means anything like dropping him and picking up his 4 million to add to the 1 or 2 million we have left to sign a guy to a 1yr 5 mil deal in a month I'm all for it.
