You know, we can laugh at Florida right now but I'm starting to see the method in their suckiness. One of their execs made a comment about how it doesn't matter if you lose 95 games or 110 games, either way the team sucks. If you are rebuilding, go all the way, don't do some lame half asses rebuild where you try to make fans think you are trying by wasting money on aging vets. Find out who is for real in the farm system and who sucks.
They brought in a LOT of amazing talent in the trades they made. If instead of trading DTrain and (eventually) Cabrerra, they were to lock them up long term they could once again be a great team and make a run for another championship between 2008-2011. Meanwhile, the Royals, Pirates, DRays, etc. will still be fucking things up.
