Re: no cap- why care what's spent?

Exactly. Both are probably the major reason why we haven't, but I think the others are also correct. The FA pool this year are mostly 30 year olds or higher. The change in direction and putting more emphasis on the draft will yield nice results. I just hope our scouts step up there game and we do draft to cover needs.
