I'm with you, G. The M's self-imposed salary cap has you CHOOSING BETWEEN proven contributors.
Vargas is doing well, but we keep in perspective that the Mariners couldn't give him away just two baseball months ago.
............
Still, what do you do with the fact that he's earned $21M the last two years... and has apparently leaped a plateau? This guy projects to $15M, if not $20M, per season in quality innings pitched. And you can have that $15-20M for 50% off.
Just noodling here: how do you throw away a 50% purchase opportunity? .... maybe because all of the club-controls guys are 20% opportunities and you really have that many of them?
