Or that this it isn’t worth the (never-defined) cost to pick up a Ted Lilly, Brett Myers, Ben Sheets or even Jarrod Washburn?"<br /><br />IMO, it depends on what your end goal is?

If can bring in an Ace that means we'll take care of one of the problems. We should've made the Lee deal and the performances since shows it was obvious.
