Glass is content to keep the money, Moore does his bidding, and KC fans continue to defend it.
If you want to talk about CJ Wilson or Yu Darvish or one of the other FA pitchers from the past offseason, that's cool. It was a pretty weak market beyond those guys (Next best was probably Buehrle, and there was a BIG dropoff after him). They gambled on Sanchez, and it hasn't worked. If they'd gambled on, say, Erik Bedard instead, it would look a lot better.

Jackson just wasn't an option. All I was saying.

Moore has shown he will push the payroll higher for starting pitching in the past. He needs to do it in this offseason. With the plethora of proven starters that are going to be out there, there's no excuse for him not to.
