As I walk through stores, I often like to visit the clearance rack. I love myself a good bargain (mostly because I’m strapped for cash) and a clearance rack can be full of goodies and trinkets that one could buy at a reasonable price. The leftovers following a holiday present a tantalizing assortment of Christmas candy and gifts that are discounted because they just weren’t able to be sold in time (or they just aren’t good in the first place).
This got me thinking, the Colorado Rockies and I aren’t so different. They are the type of team that often prefers to pick over what’s left in the free agent market in the hopes they can find a player at a discounted price and then try to maximize that value.
