Put simplistically, I'd rather have a cheap s--tty team than an expensive one. At least then you can divert formerly wasted resources to building for the future. I want to see them add young pitching before ST, though. That's what Theo has said (several times) is the goal. Ok, fine. Not promising immediate improvement on the ML level for 2014. My expectations are set. Then you better grab at least two or three starting pitchers who will be ML-ready by no later than February 2015 to coincide with the arrival of Almora, Baez, Bryant, etc.
