I generally support your view about locking up our own but on the other hand....Brob's deal will finally expire after the season freeing up some money, Johnson will likely be a poor use of scarce resources if he seeks top "closer" money and then there's the TV deal. I'm not saying we should be rushing into the FA market and risk losing our own but I do think we have an interesting window with the Yanks and Red Sox having some issues possibly and our young talent potentially performing above their salary. Adding the right free agent with reasonable terms may be a good investment. Of course, figuring out the right free agent is no easy thing to do.
