We migt have overpaid for Bailey, but not by as much as people think. He was coming off back-to-back innings with over 200 innings pitched and an ERA in the mid threes. Guys like that don't come cheap. We would have had to pay more for Cueto, but he was clearly a better pitcher than Homer.
This is why I would have signed 2-3 guys at 8-10 mil and made the young guys earn their call ups.
