WOULD YOU RATHER??..?

On this long holiday weekend, let?s have some fun with a challenging choice you have to make.
Two options. One choice.
Both options have benefits and drawbacks.
Ready?
Would you return to the strategy of Mike Ilitch and fill your team with high-priced free agents if you were guaranteed that the Tigers would play October baseball in just 2 years? But also knowing that at some point, some of these free agents would become albatrosses and that another tear down/rebuild would be necessary?
Or would you opt to build a mostly home-grown roster of younger, controllable players who would be part of the organization for a number of years going forward? The only catch is that in order to play October baseball, it would take 4 years. Twice as long as the team filled with free agents.
Which would you choose?
Which method would you choose in order for the Tigers to reach the playoffs?
1. Mr. I's strategy of loading the team with free agents similar to the 2012 team..
2. Developing primarily a home-grown team similar to the 1984 team.
