Wow. Pretty cool using back back in a sentence think it's correct too.

Only 2 backs?

If you want to trade Worley there are about a hundred better options than signing Jair for 16-20M.

Just out of curiosity but why are you assuming only 10M over?

IMO, if you are going to bust the cap threshold this year, go all the way to the 2014 threshold of $189 mil. Could be Halladay's and Chase's last year here, get Hamilton and Swisher and go for it.

Just a guess. Could be less, could be more.

Not gonna judge until all the pieces are in place. If pagan is the only "big" move ill eat human shit.

But adding a bad piece doesn't help even if the other pieces are good.
