If we want to keep the window open, we will become the Yankees we hated for decades.
If we don't keep spending $4)M or more over the limit beyond 2019, we will see a steep decline in competitiveness, IMO.
I'd love to see us stay competitive forever, and that's why I prefer a more balanced approach, but we're at where we are now, and our options are limited.
I don't think Henry will be the biggest spender for more than 3 years. That's why I'm a "cliff dweller". I wouldn't mind seeing him spend and spend, but I'd feel like a hypocrite, if I didn't point out the paradox us Sox fans might face.
