Knighton's the only choice I didn't like, but I'm guessing they thought Miller/Marks would be at least equal to him. We tried for Cox and he ended up getting $20M and $10+M guaranteed, which is a gamble because of his injury history. I like Smith and think he can still play at a good level for another year or two, but starting Hayes and playing rookies gives us a chance to see if we have a future starter at the position. He's also playing with much better players in Baltimore which definitely doesn't hurt his play.

 

In the end, we really won't be able to tell if this strategy is a success or failure for us for at least another year, but I agree with the style Caldwell went about it.
