But this is where you're wrong. There is a problem with that when you're adding depth by spending a lot of money. It's a big reason why Marquis was never liked around here. He had a large dollar amount tied to him for a back-of-rotation production.
Sinking too much money into mediocre players is a problem we've had for the last few years. We need to stop that so we can use it for the elite players. It's time this Cubs franchise start depending on their farm system like every other team in the league. Otherwise, we're going to have to overpay old players like Soriano and regret the contracts later.
