But now you've heard the sales pitch, fellas. When we don't sign Harper and instead sign Fowler, Cecil and Leake for the same amount, it'll be because we didn't want to 'put our eggs in one basket'.
I mean nevermind roster limitations or the depth of JAGs we already have on this roster. And to hell with the fact that the organizations that are actually winning things are adopting the stars/scrubs model and paying for greatness while letting guys like Marwin Gonzalez go (and trading for Aledmys Diaz to give you roughly the same production). Nah - we need to buck the trends being set by winning organizations.
Let's keep spending big money on mediocre players - it's working out really well.
