The OP doesn't address the acquisition of Despaigne and Worley who I think DD hedged his bets with a bit in the pitching department. Both have been useful and may play a greater role as it seems we need relievers/spot starters who can go multiple quality innings.

He did well with Worley, not so much Despainge

What? Despaigne has looked alright but agreed he clearly didn't compete for a spot as promised.

I still don't share the love fest with Worley. We will see.

He wanted to go to the Midwest. We have no idea how high the Tigers would have gone. They could have tapped into the Upton money.

I'm not saying we could have signed him. A question was asked, and I answered it.

Good summary from the Frobster.

Regarding the starting pitching, I wanted them to keep Miguel, sign Rich Hill, and forget about Gallardo. Not sure how much higher we would've had to go for Hill though, and admittedly my desire to sign him was based entirely on that one start last season where he completely destroyed us.

Easily the biggest plus of the offseason is we didn't get stuck on the hook for the Heyward or Upton contracts.

I wouldn't have signed Gallardo but we were under the impression he was attached with Fowler so that one isn't as bad as it looks.

We got Gallardo. What pitcher that signed a multi year deal without an opt out would you have beaten the contract they got?

I wanted Happ. He is the one that could have been had. And I certainly would have kept Miggy.
