Why all the acceptance of the idea that trading for Sneed is a good idea at all. This is similar to the Buckner acquisition.
The usefulness of free agency is in the ability to pay top dollar to fill a need without using draft capital. We should make the tough choice and try to land an elite corner, if that is the top priority. Giving up a first or even second round pick, and then being strapped with 80 million dollar contract is no way to get ahead.
