My guess is that they're trying to split the difference, while maybe leaning a bit more towards the 2-3 year World Series run. They desperately need to capitalize on the fan support and excitement that they generated this past year (much like the White Sox in '05) to show that one season isn't a fluke after 20 years of shittiness.<BR/><BR/>The easiest way to do that is to go balls out here and now, future be damned. They have to be able to look at the longer term, though, to sustain that in any meaningful sort of way. At some point, it seems like signing aging stars to expensive and potentially risky contracts is not the best way to go about doing that.trouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16951090490306266662noreply@blogger.com
