Compare this to the start of the 2011 season, when they had 14 (WTF) players over the age of 32 and I'd say this argument is no longer valid.

While I agree with what you said up the reason this team can still be called aging is Kipper and Iggy are still clearly the best players on the roster and they are 35 and 36 respectively.
