After my colleagues Charles and Tom wrote about whether the Diamondbacks are cheap or not a couple of days ago, I wanted to take a deeper view into what they could really buy in free agency. I have heard a lot of fans talk about the Diamondbacks signing a couple stud starting pitchers like David Price and Johnny Cueto. I keep hearing about how the Diamondbacks need to return to their winning ways like when Randy Johnson and Curt Schilling would pitch almost 70 games a year.
But how reasonable is it in today’s game?
Sure, there is inflation of salaries.
