Absolutely. The way AA built the team there was no chance of us becoming a sustainable winner who's going to contend year after year. Signing EE and Jose to extend a closing window would only hamper the team long term and prolong the suffering (for the outside chance we catch lightning in a bottle). This team is retooling - I thought that was blatantly obvious by now. That said, given the state of our rotation, with a little luck we still have a chance to make the playoffs this year...
