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.

Oh I agree. We can't compete with the $2-$8 billion cable TV contracts. We have to buy a couple of post arbitration years of our core players. Garcia and Craig contracts didn't work out but that Carpenter deal looks pretty sweet now.
All I hear is how hard Wong works to make himself better. Give him some money. Big dudes who hit home runs don't grow on trees. Give Adams some money too.
Lynn is going to want a ton of money. Thats where you throw some of that extra money.
Wacha has to wait until the shoulder is stabilized, if it ever does. I wouldn't give Miller one either.
New core guys to build around:
Carpenter
Wong
Adams
Taveras
Lynn
