well Jason and the people in-the-know would know better than I but it appears to me that a possible M's plan is to get Igawa via the posting process and then sign their other pitching target at the winter meetings. IF that is their plan then their actions to date make sense. And it's not unwise to wait and see what market develops for Schmidt if that is their primary target. No sense in spending more money than you have to if you can avoid it - especially when you find yourself with multiple holes to fill.
