Can we put away the unjustified comment about needing excuses to be "miserly" in free agency? Staying out of outside FA spending is by default a GOOD idea, backed up by loads of historical evidence. That doesn't make it wrong to try some major FA moves, but the odds are always against such moves. FA spending is what requires a good excuse, not staying out of it, and it's arrogant to imply any criticism of an executive or team that restrains itself from the siren's call.
