[QUOTE="the juiceman cometh, post: 1737151, member: 747321"] Unfortunately DeWitt has determined he's going to make the most amount of money by spending just enough to compete for a wild card spot. That's the sense I get. Im not that upset about the reliever signings. I wanted a big name reliever and then I read an article the other day about why that’s not a smart thing to spend on, because reliever productivity fluctuates so wildly. Good relievers become bad, and bad relievers become good, and it's just hard to project. Our recent experience with guys like Andrew Miller and Brett Cecil are good examples of this. But not spending on a front of rotation starter was, I think, a big mistake. I think that's the piece we needed to really compete. [/QUOTE]
