Why get an innings eater like Meche for 11? Better off throwing 30 at Sabathia. Why sign Guillen for 11? Throw it all at Tex. May as well lose with great players.

Were they free agents, both of them would likely make MORE than 11M. So, you're wrong on that count. B) Neither Dice-K nor Joba are 5th starters. Joba is an ace in training, and Dice-K is a 3rd starter. So, again, this is an epic Januz tangent to nowhere. A) Neither Dice-K nor Joba have ever been free agents.

Joba Chamberlain does not, nor does Dice-K for that matter, and the same for MOST other pitchers. 5th starters do not make $11m.

Guys like Pavano, Escobar & Schmidt are often hurt (So there is no guarantee you can even flip them for a spare part). Not to mention guys like Pavano who are despised in the clubhouse (Guess why the Nats traded Milledge?). As for Meche, I used him as an obvious example of wasting money, compared to spending it on the draft. As for Bedard, everything you hear about him is highly negative in the clubhouse, and that is not needed on a young team (Not to mention trading Adam Jones and others for him).

It was just stating a fact. If a game recap says that Tex got a triple, it's not implying that he's fast to get 15 triples and 50sb a year. Exactly. It was just stating a fact.
