What would your alternative plan have been?

Play a kid, play a AAAA player. I can handle that. I can't handle signing washed up 33 year old relievers and expecting them to be around when(if) this team competes in 2016.

Nope. Like I said, I can handle rebuilding with "prospects" or AAAA filler.


I can't handle signing past their prime vets and expecting them to turn back the clock to be good again.
