You're right.  That stat not being static makes the group who performed much worse a better offseason haul than the other 4.  Really solid argument you're putting up here.

Let's see your genius by pulling up an actual stat that shows that the first group was worse

the cost of a free agent is 50% more now relative to expected production.  

so the 2019 cost of that crew from 2012 is about 45m.

I'm pretty sure this thread is about performance.  I only put the money in to show it was very similar (almost identical if you take out Madson).

why do you get to take Madson out 

and a dollar then is not the same as a dollar now.

Because he didn't pitch?  If we're comparing their performances, what purpose is there to include Madson?

I love it when people post a poll then get upset when everyone doesn't agree with them 

[tdawg87]

Can I vote for the first option again?
