We should re-sign Kepp as insurance for BC and FS.

In Reply to: Won't be cheap. The Dbacks want to get them back. Saunders made $5.5 M and Theriot made $3.3 M. We might as well try to re-sign Kepp who made $2.3 M or you know the Dodgers will try and steal him.

1. The idea before we hit the upper limit was to get a bat like Beltran or Willingham in order to cover Crawford in case he did not hit. Without those guys, we do not have that insurance and betting on Melky Cabrera and Angel Pagan.
2. If money was tight, then we still should get insurance for BC with Fontenot and someone like Keppinger, RH bat who can hit. Also, Kepp would be insurance for Freddy Sanchez in case he gets hurt.
3. It's better to pay a little insurance now instead of finding out next season. Then the insurance goes way up like Tenada or Orlando Cabrera.
4. A little insurance can be traded. If things go well, then we can always trade a Keppinger, Fontenot, or someone else in order to restock for the future.
