The first decision of the offseason was what to do about Larry Jaster and his option year. He's 38 years old, but he was 14-6 with a 3.35 ERA, with a 3.7 WAR. Only Marty Bystrom and his 5.5 WAR was higher. His $683,000 salary is the team's highest, but I bet against father time and executed his option.

Bobby Grich was also set to be a free agent, and even though he had a down year I really wanted him back. However, his 7 year contract demands as a 33 year old told me he didn't want to come back. Jim Clancy is also not going to be offered a contract. He only wants a 6 year deal, but he hasn't pitched too well in Montreal. Both will be offered arbitration, so at least we'll get a draft pick.

The Expos drafted 13th this year, and with our first pick we selected starting pitching Mike Moore. We drafted another starting pitcher, Neal Heaton, in the second round. Shortstop Dick Schofield was our third round pick, with reliever Jeff Dedmon and catcher Steve Christmas rounded out the draft.
