We have one of the most loaded farm systems in the league. Why give up your core major league guys for more maybe's? The goal is to try and get to a solid to above average starting 9 and back it with solid pitching. Our bullpen is 3rd or 4th in the league. Our starting rotation has a couple keepers on board with some good prospects getting close to moving up and rounding things out. Where we are lacking is in the core starting 9. Right now you could say we have quality in Dozier, Mauer(when healthy), Morales, Suzuki, Plouffe(maybe), and a good utility guy in Escobar. How does tearing down the little bit of top 9 talent we currently have make us better? We should be keeping the guys that are major league caliber and trying to build towards a solid top 9. This team has 4-5 major holes in just fielding a competitive top 9. I get it with Willingham, I really do. But the rest of these guys plus a free agent and maybe one or two guys that develop in the minors gets us pretty close to being competitive. Or, maybe an Arcia or a Parmalee gets it together and figures it out. I can't see tearing that down and starting at ground zero again.
