CJK makes a great point, that there's not much value in putting lipstick on a pig. You don't want to invest future assets into THIS season, if it's going nowhere, even if if could be made to go someplace not quite as depressing. I don't see much to like about this team right now, frankly.
And yet one disclaimer -- for all we know, maybe there's more potential on this roster for this season than it looks like. One part of the picture we never truly see is the health situation -- we assume they are at 100%, but the early season may not actually be telling us the truth. And it might not be telling a trade partner the truth either, perhaps leading them to undervalue what we offer if we try to make a trade. Selling low, based on flawed info, is not something to wish for. Our best answers to what we lack MIGHT already be here.
