Let's say it's Reddick in right , Morales at DH. Smoak (god no) and someone at 1st platooning .
For easy math say Reddick gets 10 mil a year .
Now you sign Melacon to act like a Miller in Clev (well he's going to SF but let's pretend) for 12.5 a year .
That's leave about 5-7 mil for another bullpen arm, at what EE and JB would cost .
We loose about 7 WAR on bats and pick up 3-4 WAR on bullpen.
Is 2-3 WAR worth 2 first round picks ....?
(Obviously all theoretical)
