Saving the ammo. I was thinking that if Hart and Tanaka (I know, that's still unlikely) were acquired there'd be no immediate need to trade multiple prospects to cover. Many bullets would be saved in talent and money in comparison to the other pitching and DH solutions available. No pick lost for the signings even. Then it could just be about the best OF we can get with our stock. Smoak just became more likely to be a part of that stock too. Of course that other free agent could instead be Colon or Choo, since hitter handedness is now less of a concern. The ability to use the trade bullets we have to cover 2 big adds is difficult without including Paxton or Walker. If there's just 1 big add via trade it seems much more doable and today's moves make that much more possible.
