So what you're saying is that having a great farm system is overrated. But having homegrown talent is good. But bringing in established baseball players is also good. But buying established players is bad.
I understand.

trading for players using your farm system =/= buying them in FA market lmfao

I see.. you traded for Clifford..

I also forgot that trading for a player, then just re-signing him after the 1/2 year you traded for wasn't almost the same as waiting to buy them in FA market.

1. Clifton
2. They didn't re-sign him directly after trading for him.

Yea. Usually you're giving up better baseball assets trading for a player.

And outside of Cliff Lee, how many other mega contracts have the Phillies given out to free agents in past years?

Go ahead...I'm waiting.

So you trade for players headed for FA.. then re-sign them instead of buying them in FA.
