While I hope the Giants acquire players that can help them, I am not of the opinion that can be measured by how much money they spend. A bad deal for a good player is still a bad deal. You need to pay a player what you believe they are worth. That number is certainly influenced by the estimated "market value" but shouldn't be determined by it. A team also shouldn't spend money just because it can. The Giants have room to spend, which gives them an opportunity to get players at contracts the Giants can afford and the players will accept. That is a good thing. I trust the Giants will spend appropriately. It may not be LA Dodger proportions, but IMHO that may not be a bad thing.
