True - and I completely agree.
The only thing that I will say is that the free agent market isn't the way it used to be. Now, teams HAVE to spend a certain amount, so you start to see some of these outrageous contracts. Guys that should make $6 million are getting double that. Just look at Zietler's contract.
It's not as simple as using free agency, since the cost of getting a tier 1 or tier 2 free agent is probably double to triple the cost of another guy.
