THJ Foot Fracture: What to do?

[mvossman]

To get cap space they would have had to renounce THJ, the Trade Exception, the MLE, and it would have gained about $4 million more than the MLE. 

Yet, none of that ever happened. 

You could have done all of that and ended up with Bullock anyway without the MLE to do it.

If Bullock has it figured out so the rest of the season plays the way he did last night, then the choice they made was the right call.

I think your math is wrong.  They would have to have let WCS walk as well, but they would have had over 30 in space, not 15.  How do you think they were going after Lowry with a 3/90 contract?  A lot of folks balked at that contract, but the alternative was THJ, Bullock, WCS and a useless TPE they will likely never use.
