Of those three "good starting pitchers" Gray's been good, Roark was average, and Wood just recently got into his first game of the year (and is only under contract through the end of this season). What exactly did those moves accomplish? It moved the Reds from "completely terrible" to "bad".

You don't really consider that an example of the Reds going all-in on winning, do you?

When's the last time a team went from losing 95 games to winning a division or even a WC?  All three teams in their division above them in the standings spend more than they do so thinking last to first was really a pipe dream and not really indicative of going all in or not.
