They have little around him or waiting to come up. They're a below .500 team and not getting better. - Krusty Nov 17, 16:34 4
- they had a bad season after some better ones, in no small part because of a boatload of injuries. I can't remember offhand, but there were several - b. Nov 17, 16:43 1
  - Injuries aside, there's not a lot of talent around him or down on the farm. - Krusty Nov 17, 16:49
- What makes you think they can't buy their way out of it or rebuild through the draft. Even if it takes 3 or 4 years to rebuild he'll still be in his - pmb Nov 17, 16:40 1
  - The MLB draft is a slow build and much less of a guarantee than other sports. To buy the talent they need is going to be expensive. - Krusty Nov 17, 16:45
In theory, he is 2 years away from his prime. - Will Hunting Nov 17, 16:29 4
- That's great but he can't play nine positions. -- nm - Krusty Nov 17, 16:35 3
  - Yeah, but you don't let Mays leave when you can afford to buy Snider and Mantle. - Will Hunting Nov 17, 16:37 2
    - We'll see what happens but it looks like he'll finish his contract as the best player on a perennially mediocre team. - Krusty Nov 17, 16:42 1
      - it seems like you're forgetting how good they were just a couple of years ago. best record in mlb. - b. Nov 17, 16:48
