You have to balance the need for some of those picks to be contributors on cheap contracts right around the time they’ll need to get out the checkbook for Dahlin & possibly Middlestadt/Reinhart. It’s what made Chicago successful in their run. Pay a core group of highly skilled contributors and cycle in overachieving cheap contracts around them. I’m just as excited as the next fan for playoff possibilities (and not completely opposed to moving picks) but man, you can’t miss on those trades (see Lehner, Robin)
