This whole point of "we don't want to deal him because he is too valuable, but we don't want to promote him because he's not ready yet" is bullshit. Which is it Tim?


It's not "bullshit" at all, it's the reality of this team. You rightfully pointed out that this roster has many aging veterans. Doesn't that imply that those spots will need to be filled in the near future? IOW, a player can be extremely valuable for 2 years from now but not ready to contribute today.

GM's do not have a fan's luxury of ignoring future consequences.
