So the same thing he says every year. They always like their guys. They are always supposedly doing something and they never nab a big player in fa... only if the player is some kind of bargain

CapBoy's Paradox:

You're never there until you're there.

And yet wherever you are, there is where you'll be.

Stephen has been hitting last minute jitters on some negotiations that were supposed to be close.

But then people would have read that they wanted Cook, but the deal didn't go through, then they would accuse him of being a liar...which would have been true, if that had happened.

Sometimes it's better to keep your true intentions private.
They have been somewhat quiet about injuries, Donovan Wilson is still listed as "undisclosed", yet we have to constantly vocalize all information regarding trades.
I would rather the FO keep it in house, but they love the media attention too much.

Agreed, just keep your mouths shut,and if something exciting happens, we'll be pleasantly surprised...like in the case of Hankins.

When they signed Hankins I was actually surprised and delighted that they didn't go public before the deal was done.
