I'm just saying for this to "work out" he really needs to be a 4+ win type player. Like a Pedroia or Utley or Cano type 2B. Even a Howie Kendrick will be extremely disappointing compared to the amount of international talent you could have signed for $60 million.
If he's a 4+ win 2B, I think you're right - they probably won't care how much they spent on him.
