I think that's the part most people don't get. If not trying to contend, why bother paying so much for a mediocre Ortiz? Why taking risks on Glaus? Why bother trading for Green? Other than Glaus, there are very little chance for the other two to be on the next good Diamondback team?

Even all these players get their career year next year, the team will not be much higher than .500.
