Not Your Team’s Year? They Could Always Rebuild
The playoff chase is exciting, but what if it’s not your team’s year? Jeff Sackmann has written an article at The Hardball Times about rebuilding an organization Florida Marlins style. Sounds great, but what does it mean? From the author:
The Marlins method is simple. Build around a couple of young (read: cheap) stars, sell your veterans to the highest bidder, don’t spend money on free agents, and stockpile young pitching.
It’s an interesting idea and one that, as the Marlins can attest, is a tough sell to the fans. Sackmann identifies the Atlanta Braves, Cincinnati Reds, Milwaukee Brewers, and Toronto Blue Jays as prime candidates for such a rebuilding job. I don’t know about the Blue Jays, after all the money they invested this past off-season, but the others make a certain amount of sense to me.
Not that anyone will have the guts to try it…
