I'm fine with what we did too. Sure it would be nice to make a big splash but not at the expense of selling the farm. And it we had a realistic chance at winning the division it would make more sense.

Both World Series teams last season were wild card teams

Playoffs should be the goal whether you're winning the division or are the 2nd WC team. There is so much parity, it's really whoever is hottest at the right time

I don't think we had much of an option.

Sounds like everyone wanted Baez and not Castro.

If the last year and half is the real Castro, then he's not a ML level SS. We can't afford to move Baez if that's the case.

If the asking prices on Ross and Carrasco were reasonable, then some team would have acquired them.

We upgraded a 5th starter for nothing. All the other rentals (Latos, Leake, Price) had serious price tags. If we get past the WC round, then a 4 man rotation of Lester, Arrietta, Hammel and Hendricks can do some damage.

Me too. I would have loved to get a quality pitcher that we could control but not at a price that derails the future. Congrats to them for being discipline. We will see what this year brings us and then take care of business this offseason.
