The investment of time and money is perfectly proportional to the price they paid to acquire him, you are correct.

But the price they paid to acquire him was shocking and laughable.

Unless you were sitting there on deadline day wondering whether Berra was going to be flipped for an early pick or extended on a $4+m contract. Because I'm pretty sure nobody in the entire world outside of Denver was envisioning either scenario, much less both.
