I'll take a guess at what J-Pav's theory is. There are a lot of good offensive players from the high 4s the high 6s. J.D Martinez, Cruz, Kemp, Cuddyer, Dickerson, Soler, N. Walker, Duda,Nieuwenhuis, Kiermaier, Encarnacion, Laroche, Pollock, Morneau, Ortiz, McHenry, Gonzalez , Ozuna etc. So if you are spending 48-50 million on offense and you spend 12 million on Trout you are losing out on the opportunity to stack your team with those guys. Put another way, there did not seem to be a huge differential between guys at the top and some guys who cost much less.
