For what Armstead would cost we could most likely get Schreff and Tomlinson 

Agreed. Jonah is no Whitworth. Not even close. That said, he's decent.

I'd rather get 2 good players (at spots where the need is more dire) for roughly the same price. We need it.

Oh well.  It's a moot point now, I suppose.  All we can do now is wait for Bates to sign his FT.

Fair point, and again I see where you're coming from, but if there's any time we can afford it, it's now. I'd just hate to see us get worse before FA even starts. This ensures that we're crystal on what our biggest need is throughout the offseason.

Now try to work out a *fair* deal and if not, look for Bates' replacement in April.
