Friend of RN Tom Nichols continues with his preview of this year’s Dayton Dragons team:
Hands on Deck: Junior Arias, Sean Buckley.

Is Jonny Gomes a better option in LF for $1.75M than Austin Kearns would have been at $1.3M?
I only wonder this because I saw that Kearns signed with Cleveland today for this amount.
Thoughts?
