We'll see. There's still plenty of downsides to going big. a) They don't want to blow all their flexibility and have none in later years b) They need pitching, and top free-agent pitchers are still bad value c) If Bryant and Alcantara don't transition to the majors well, they won't get there regardless d) They don't really have an excess of prospects to trade. It's not an excess until you are filled in well at the major leagues, which they aren't. There's still tons of holes. They can afford to stay the course, keep their pile of assets intact and still see a massive increase in wins next year with a shot at contention but not going big until 2016.
