I think it unlikely Jack drops big dollars on any one FA, and with the number of gravity wells / unknowns on offense it wouldn't be prudent anyway. I'm not sure its a smart bet long term to try to buy your way out of more than one or two holes. You goto the well enough w/ FA's, eventually you get bit. Not gonna argue its the prudent move, but i'd love to see Tui get a chance to stick at second. Teams with production from up the middle defensive positions allow for such a higher celeing. That being said, I'd be giddy just to not have to see anyone approaching the futility utility that was Bill Hall or Big Sky Elvis and hhis "cERA" swing a bat next year.
