I truly can't understand how anyone could be upset with the Rhodes signing. Not even slightly so. Dude has been a stud for 3 straight years.
Webb might be something or he might be a huge bust. The difference between this and last year with Harden is that Webb's contract only has 3M guaranteed vs. Harden's 6.5M-7M that we threw away in 2010. Simply put, he is a low risk, high reward guy.
Best case? Hell, we could get a true ace again as we had with Lee and have a 20+ game winner that, while 32, has only 30 years of wear on his tires. Worst case? We cut him after a few rough starts and cut our losses instead of dealing with a number of horrible starts as we did with Harden.
Cross your fingers. This could be tremendous and prove to be better than keeping Lee or could be what pushes us into 2nd/3rd place in the division. It just depends on how our younger guys pitch in the 4th/5th spots (assuming you want to pencil Webb in as the #3 - a long shot for sure).
