I think that we are bad due to poor ownership, with injuries merely pushing us off the cliff.
Arte will not sell because he does not have the patience to build the farm. He is a farm depleter, not a builder.. He would rather be mediocre for many years, rather than rebuild and be a winner in four years.
The only ways Arte wants to alter his roster is to either trade his top prospects for past their prime veterans. or overpay for older free agents.
But he has no prospects, so he will likely do nothing. He has no interest in becoming a seller, because he has no interest in trading for promising young prospects
In Arte's world, young prospects are for trading away, not obtaining.
Poor Arte. He would love to trade his top three prospects for an arm or a left fielder past their prime, but he depleted his farm so badly, that now he is stuck.
We fans deserve much more than this. Please sell the team Arte!
