Having Skinner instead of Moore doesn't change that fact.
That's the part you're having troubles to understand.
We'd have Skinner instead of POB. Moore would have never been signed. We'd been trying to sign Smith, Gooden or we'd just stay with Skinner.
Doc said we couldn't take the
gamble of waiting for March 1st.
Am I saying that we would land Smith or Gooden for sure? No, just that we'd be able to
gamble.
What would be the worst case scenario? We fail to land them. Would that be a big problem? Not really, we'd go with Davis, Powe and Skinner.
