I am going to be optimistic and say that this year will be our low point in the rebuild. We will finish bottom two. Next year bottom 5 to 10'ish. We will compete after that.
I think we have some rookies that will start making a difference next season, both within the system and one that will be drafted top three later this year. More importantly, we are on the verge of completing a major culture change that began with the sell-off last year and will be completed at the deadline this year. I think Burke will stay at the helm and I have faith that he will succeed in trading and signing a new core of vets capable of delivering a team game that will produce a few more wins and more entertainment next year.
I waited a long time for this rebuild and I refuse to be pessimistic in year one.
