Sentimentally, the biggest decision this year should be what to do about
Arriba, out of contract after this season. But in realty, I don't want him playing for any other club and we can carry him in this fallow period so we'll do what it takes (within reason) to ensure he finishes out his career with us.
We've still a bit of territory to cover before we really start making our push for '78-'79-'80, so I will be looking for guys who can bridge the time until then so that we can at least play close to 500 ball. This, of course, is easier said than done with guys like Joe Coleman now looking for long and lucrative deals that we aren't going to offer. So we'll just have to roll with the punches and try to stay one step ahead of our needs in this regard.
With so much financial room, we're certainly not struggling for the means to acquire guys as we need them and, again, have two CC slots at our disposal.
