Oh no question, but your hit rate on those is like 25% so your bargain signings are gonna need to come in a bundle and you'd better be willing to write off a large portion of them.

You just can't sign a guy like Kelly and think "There we go; 200 innings of 3.25 ERA..."

You sign 4 guys like Kelly and think "Okay, I might get a 5th starter and a swing reliever out of that lot" and hope you beat that.
