Great post, and this part is such a bigger deal than most people realize. I remember back in the day when we were constantly cycling through these kinds of guys, and it kills your chemistry and structure because you're constantly just wasting draft picks on these role player type guys trying to fill these niche positions, and it was just constant turnover of guys who barely know what they're doing and then after 4 years, poof, gone. Then you start from scratch, and repeat the cycle.
It's just yet another reason we are head and shoulders above the rest.
