Ok, well then we’ll see, I guess. Personally, I’m setting my expectations lower. Even if he’s straight dead money, I feel it was a good deal because Omax is the type of guy you MUST have in today’s game. I think people are sleeping on what he’s going to do here on this first contract.
If Holmes gives them more than I’m expecting, I’ll be happy, but I’m certainly not limiting my expectations to anything remotely resembling “if Powell is the starter, this off-season was a failure.” Not saying that’s where you are, but there are people who can’t see past that.
