They seem very determined not to repeat Bavasi's approach of using a lot of resources to get guys who are a bad fit for the park. There was a quote along the lines of "we came in and we couldn't believe how many guys were on the roster who were terrible for the park."
They fear the out-years of a five-year Bay deal more than they fear one year of "wheel of fortune" -- so long as the guys on the wheel can play defense and get on base.
My view of things, anyway.
