I don't disagree with Sandy's logic. A few weeks ago I agreed we should stay away from Fielder.
Then Angels just made us realize that this is a different game now. The money in this game is rising.
You simply can't compete with the Yankees/Angels/Red Sox/(Rangers soon) payrolls and on-field product unless you have a crazy string of great talent and luck coming through the pipe (Rays) or start playing the same game.
Our young talent is not so superior to that of the Angels and Rangers. Our MLB team is vastly inferior. Our revenue streams are vastly inferior and the gap will get signficantly worse for the rest of the decade unless we start winning ASAP.
