Spending money to spend money is inviting disaster.
If you were going to increase payroll, the thing to do would be to buy out the arb years of Wong and Adams this year, and if his production looks legit, Oscar and Wacha in 2016.
The only other way to spend money intelligently would be to work a trade that brought in Stanton while also extending him for five years.
