This is a very costly and emotion based experiment only to satisfy the most nostalgic fans.
He he'll be cheap to acquire but there's this thing called opportunity cost. It's what you could do with that roster spot/cap space/draft pick instead.

"very" costly? a 5th or a 6th round pick isn't costly imo...we're talking about a rental for a roll of the dice at that #
zero impact on roster spots (unless sitting one of bouma/chiasson/hathaway counts as long term damage). Same with cap.
its a gamble, like any trade is... characterizing as 'very costly' is assuming the acquisition costs are north of the 5th round pick...and if it goes that way, then i would agree...but less than a 5th? I wouldn't consider it as costly at all
