I'm not sure why so many posters feel the only alternative to acquiring a player with three years left on a bad contract is a draft pick. You can try to acquire guys whose contract also sucks but at least it expires in a year or even two.

I would take Bozak at $5M over 3-4 years than Jones at $4M over 3 years.
