Thinking Out Loud: The Nationals, $22 Million, and Aroldis Chapman

Thinking Out Loud: The Nationals, $22 Million, and Aroldis Chapman

As the great Buster Olney pointed out this morning, the Nationals have now spent $22 million dollars this winter on the following free agents:

• Jason Marquis (2 years/$15 million)
  

• Ivan Rodriguez (2 years/$6 million)
  

• Scott Olson (1 year/$1 million)
  

With that figure in mind, who would you rather have: those three players (Marquis, Rodriguez, Olson) or Aroldis Chapman, should he command the expected total of $15-$20 million dollars to sign?

If Chapman would sign for somewhere in the $15-$20 million dollar range, I'd have to choose him over those three based on Chapman's high upside and potential.

Your thoughts?
