We are not the Yankees.  If we go out and sign, and trade for big money players what happens in 3,4,5 years when they are done.  If we trade for a guy like Peavy for example we have just drastically hurt are farm.  Once our big money guys retire we can't just sign more when they are done because nobody except the yankees can go do that.  Thats the thing if we have a good farm we can be good for along time, once our prospects come up we can just keep building, and building.  But if we spend money on free agents we lose draft picks and farm players and we MIGHT have a good 2 or 3 year run but after that we have to start all over again with a few miserable seasons.
