again, dumping vets in and of itself doesn't help a rebuild.
the ONLY thing that helps a rebuild is acquiring quality players.
Your baseball knowledge lessen by the day.
If you have "quality players" and dont have room to play them because they are blocked by non core players then what happens? You have to dump players to make room and playing time for the "quality players".
plus you changed your tune;
1st you said
1. and yet still, just dumping vets doesn't actually help the rebuild.
now you say:
again, dumping vets in and of itself doesn't help a rebuild.
Yes ONLY dumping vets doesnt help a rebuild but you didnt originally say that. But dump vets is a necessary part of a rebuild that helps said rebuild. Your 2nd statement is right now that you revised. Glad we can agree your original statement - the root of our disagreement was wrong hence why you added the "in and of itself"
But we have this new statement that is wrong.
the ONLY thing that helps a rebuild is acquiring quality players.
Cant have quality players and no where to play them if you dont dump vets to open up roster spots.
Cant have one thing or another to have a successful rebuild. There are many factors and moving parts.
