No shit?
Hence my counterexamples to the idea that first base is easy to fill because of the supposedly readily available offensive talent.

Gil Meche once got 11 mill.
He once gave it up too
There's also likely to be LaHair. I have no idea who will be available. Why didn't you guys sign Pena?
Anthony Rizzo!
Rizzo would be a huge fucking upgrade over Loney, I must admit. Alas, l can probably expect Travis Ishikawa to be our blockbuster trade deadline acquisition.
Feel free to deal for LaHair. Though I doubt that any team is willing to pony up what Thehoyer is willing to accept at this point.

See? First base is so easy to fill, you guys.
Why didn't we sign Randy Johnson?
Why didn't we trade Beltre for Pedro?
Why didn't we sign Ichiro out of Japan?
Why didn't we have a young Vicente Padilla to flip for Curt Schilling?
Why didn't we trade Dee Gordon for Cliff Lee?
Why didn't we draft Giancarlo Stanton with either one of our first round picks?
Going down this path is never ending. Just fucking once I want MY team to make THE move that kicks everyone else's asses.
and when he's not terrible, he's injured.
