Kaz Sasaki and now Johjima. Something about playing for the M's inspires people to turn down great heaps of undeserved money to go back to Japan.
Whatever the reason, I'll take it.

What a shocking move...that certainly gives us a lot more salary flexibility than we had yesterday. Just hand that money over to Felix, please.

What a pleasant surprise to hear. Something Z doesn't have to think about and contend with. Looks like Moore and Johnson now until proven otherwise. I'm okay with that, at least for next year.

What great news!
Moore for full-time catcher now, please. I dont want to see Rob Johnson out there just because he's "good with the staff".

Well then you'll see him out there because Adam Moore isn't ready. He needs at least a half year at AAA. Don't be surprised if Rob Johnson is all we have as a starter this year.

Adam Moore could start full-time and still hit for a better average than Johnson.
Lame.

I don't disagree. Too bad it's not up to me.
