you could spend 20 on 2 different pitchers each and have the rest of the rotation being made up of Stroman, Norris, Sanchez, Hutchison etc. Then you're good to go next year.

Do you think you are going to get a better replacement for Buehrle's numbers? Let's say you get a wash.
Then you hope you can get a 15 win FA pitcher. We aren't getting any big names.
So maybe we've improved 3-4 wins. Strolman another 3-5 probably. BUT Bautista, EE are a year older and are already declining. Reyes may gulp get worse.
Do we really think we get the same offense from Colabello and Pillar, etc?
We still have no bullpen, slightly better starters assuming we can find any, and the last year of EE and Bautista, who are a year older and presumebly less productive.
