In terms of being under the cap per se, sure, but not looking at 
luxury tax totals. Trades are a bit quirkier

Sorry, but if they want to just waste money, which based on his 
performance is what I see throwing it as Kandiman is, then they can 
throw it at me. Jones at least has the potential to improve and if 
nothing else will give you consistent effort. I'm not particularly 
enamored of either, but especially since we acquired Ratliffe to give 
the young bigs some veteran leadership, which is the only excuse to 
keep Kandiman I can see (and do you really WANT his laissez faire 
approach to the game infecting Perk and the more susceptible Al??) no 
question I keep Jones of the two. I honestly can't believe people are 
speaking of wanting Kandiman back.
Kim, who does hate candied yams too -waaaaayyyy too sweet
