Q. Is an extreme sinkerballer useful in the pen, or does he need to start, get the percentages going for him?

How often can you get a 3 WAR shortstop under contract for 8-9 million dollars? How many 3 WAR SSs are there right now in all of baseball...and how many of those are cheap? This is just plain stupid...you do not commit minor league assets to acquire a shortstop at enormous cost when you can sign one relatively cheaply by market standards and trade for pieces to fix OTHER problems.
I am rapidly losing faith in Zduriencik.
