Samuels extension could very well be the biggest priority of the entire offseason since they won't be able to do much else if his cap number is not lowered.

I agree 100% with you about Samuels, that contract could be the difference in our organazation as a whole over the next 2-3 years. His cap number can will be a huge difference when it comes to brining in some guys over the next couple years.
I'm 100% in favor of Peirce being back, and I think its important, but if he asks for too much money, I still think its the system rather than the players. If we have to have another guy step into MLB; and play with Washington and ARrington on the outsides, I'll still feel pretty good. However, I still think we need Peirce back, and i've heard the talks are going alright, so thats very good news.
