I'll believe it when I see it.I'll put this out here so that if I end up being right I can't be accused of Monday morning QBing later, lol.
Some here seem to believe, based on past moves, that the Borg will only work within a similar framework and utilize a limited set of strategies when it comes to future moves ("I'll believe it when I see it"). I posit that the Borg isn't nearly as rigid as some believe. While I'm sure the Borg has general guiding principles that they operate by, I believe that it recognizes that the environment isn't static, that it actively analyzes changes over time and within the organization, that it will adjust strategy accordingly, and that they will deviate from general principles if the exception makes sense.
In short, I'm guessing that a bigger limitation may be in the way some on here view the Borg rather than in the way the Borg will operate going forward. I could, of course, be wrong.
Having said that, they won't be stupid. E.g., I could see them going hard and even offering an overpayment for Meier but still not getting him if the price amps up into the ridiculous range. In which case I'm sure there will a plan B.
But to be for real, I don't think the borg is cheap, the team salary shows that. It's just they ain't buying unless they have a coupon or they find something absurdly cheap in the pawn shop that they can laugh at the cashier about when checking out.
