So you'd rather pay the same amount in $$, lose a first round pick and get an older player for 2 fewer years? Because that's exactly what you're talking about.

I'd rather roll with Kozma next year than pay $50 million for Drew and surrender a draft pick. Drew's overrated as hell - he always has been. He has no clue against LH pitching and he's a Fenway creation that put up an OPS of .687 away from home with an OBP less than .300.

Could you do worse than Drew? I guess.

But could you do worse than Drew at $12 million/year during his decline years while also surrendering a first round pick?

Honestly, you'd have to try pretty damn hard to manage it.

I'd take Peralta 100 times out of 100 over Drew.
