How far away are those 2 3B men? 3 maybe 4 years are you suggesting we sit and wait? And so you think all pitchers are unreliable and overpriced? So when Burke and Allard etc become stars and starters and come due for big contracts will you claim that they will be potentially unreliable and potentially overpriced in your bookNo, we are not putrid like some of the dregs in the league. We have a ways to go before we match up with the run production of the league leaders though. We have a lot of holes in the lineup that need to be filled before we can go to a WS.
My whole point to begin with was that we are not just an ace away from greatness. We have many holes to fill and a limited amount of money to fill them. Overspending on an ace, which is what we would have to do to buy one, may not be the best way to go about winning a WS.
With an ace and a 3B being two of the best prizes in free agency ¹ it seems we are FA shopping in the wrong offseason. One position is always overpriced amd risky, and the other is one where we just drafted 2 guys very high in the draft. Bad timing it seems.
