Completely agree, Clapp. Aren't people bitching that Wood and DeRosa were shipped away, and that they were big clubhouse leaders? What the hell is D-Lee, chopped liver? D-Lee has been the only consistent player for about a month, and people want to shed for some payroll and (most likely) mediocre prospects?
It'd be incredibly bad to blow up this team right now, baseball and business wise. After the window has closed, sure, blow it up. I'll admit it may be closing sooner than I thought, but I still think there's at least one or two more years to win with this core.
I'm sure Ricketts would just <i>love</i> buying the team then dismantling it, and risk pissing off a large majority of the fanbase.
