Smart teams know that you have to pay some great players if you want to win.   I think the Reds overpaid for Bailey, Chapman, and Phillips, but not Votto.  

Jay Bruce just has one more year on his contract.  I don't know about Frazier.  But we have to keep some of these proven players.  Most of them are still pretty young.

Votto may be a bargain, compared to Pujols, but Votto is no Pujols.

If the team is in full rebuild mode, then go full rebuild.
