We would have had to pay the same to keep him and hope for 2-3 years of high grade production. I'm not saying that it wouldn't have been worth it, but it might have been the kind of albatross contract that the Red Sox just dumped with Carl Crawford, or like the one the Yankee's are stuck with on A-Fraud. 5 years with Josh, considering his age, health and other issues would be dicey. It's time to blow Arizona's socks off with something for Justin Upton, now.

No left handed bat in the heart of the order is gonna hurt. There are a handful of guys his caliber in the league and they aren't readily available.

Don't blow it up and overpay for something. I would not have a problem with them giving a 2 year deal to aj to catch and maybe a 3 year deal for laroche to play first. Then you can see what kind of deal you can get for any combo of kinsler, Cruz, olt, and Perez
