This is similar to the Joe Burke era. "Need a power bat", says Whitey. Burke ignores him and gets us Rev. Jerry Terrell, light hitting 2b from the Twins. Could have pulled the trigger and paid for Larry Hisle as Calvin Griffith was firesale-ing the team anyway.
But no. We eventually got the washed up George Scott. He hit one HR. I guess there was one big difference in the teams. Several players from that era actually produced on the field.
