True, obviously.
That leaves one other option to hope for, and that is that this club loses as many games as possible, whilst Encarnacion, Bautista, Reyes, Rasmus, Dickey, Buehrle, Morrow, Janssen, Santos, Delabar, Cecil, McGowan (lol), Izturis, and Navarro (forget anyone?) stay healthy and have good seasons and raise their trade value. We then commence the tear-down and harvest a nice crop of top-150 prospects and promising players/reclamation projects 25yrs and under. Could be a golden age for this place, F5 buttons would be exterminated far and wide.
