See here's the thing... all three of those guys will require decent money (not as much as Price/Greinke but still significant), decent term (4ish years), and a draft pick. They're all good pitchers but none of them will wow and I don't see a capacity for surplus value. If we're going to get a 2nd tier pitcher in free agency I think I'd rather get Kazmir. He'll cost a little less then those guys (maybe the same AAV but I wager less term) and has no compensation pick attached.
Something I was thinking about for the bullpen... I wonder if Brandon Morrow would accept a bullpen role now? I mean... will a team really depend on him to be a starter again?
