I won't mix words...I blame Snyder for a lot of stuff. These two leaving...I don't blame on him. This is probably #2 out of the 3 scenarios that could have happened.

1. They sign, restructure when asked and play for the Skins for a few more years
2. They flat out leave via free agency
3. We give the big contracts and then cut them because they're cap cost is too high.

Of those 3, before this offseason I would have guessed #3 would have been the most likely scenario. However, that wasn't the case and I don't really mind. They're both very replaceable and I'll say it again, the Skins were right to not match the offer for Pierce. Is he a good player? Yes. Will he be an upgrade and good for the Giants? I think so. Do we need him? Not really. He's not Ray Lewis, he's not even better than Kendrell Bell, just so happens Bell got hurt a lot. There are a lot better MLB's than Pierce. We'll find someone who can fill in fine.
