and 3) free up more cash to spend on bench players or another SP.
If almost all of your bullpen is made up of guys making the major league minimum, you've got dollars to spend elsewhere on your roster. You'd have that extra $1-$2 million to spend on the decent backup catcher that no one wants to "pursue" in the offseason. You'd have the extra money to get the backup OFer that many teams aren't showing a lot of attention to until 3-4 weeks before Spring Training starts. That makes your bench, and your team better and more competitive.
