[QUOTE="TechnicalPossum, post: 102017, member: 1648"] I can see that, but at some point, assets would need to be leveraged for position players to build a complete team, which may be coming for J. Upton If we are truly in a rebuild mode, let Hale pitch a full season to see what we have like we did with Delgado before we traded him instead of getting Miller. Also, if these two years are essentially sunk years, it would be the perfect time to see what is left in Beachy and Medlen after TJ surgery. I wouldn't mind bring back Harang on a 1 year deal with a club option/500k-1M buyout for a second year. What scares me is the way that Miller (granted in a relatively small sample size) regressed. His WHIP, IP, and SLG against were essentially identical in 2013 and 2014, but the ERA spiked, the K/9 dropped from 8.8 to 6.3 and the K/BB decreased from 3 to 1.7 (in short walking more people and missing less bats without giving up many more XBH). These are the things that McDowell can likely work with, but it is a question to me of it being a sophomore slump or a true regression. And yeah, giving Johnson that contract was absurd given that his career season was fueled by a .394 BABIP. For perspective, Ty Cobb had a BABIP of .383, Joey Votto of .362, and Derek Jeter of .354 over their entire careers. And now for the blasphemy - If this is a true rebuild, Kimbrel should be traded.
