The idea is that you rebuild with players you can win with. I lean towards this myself. I don't like the idea of having players who are merely stopgaps and are on the team simply because the team is rebuilding. It's the reason why there are franchises who keep missing the playoffs. They build their team with players who accept losing. Stajan is one such player. Stajan is used to losing and he has accepted it. Stajan has long considered to be a player who is only good on a nonplayoff team. That means he's a guy that is decently productive on a nonplayoff team but he's not a guy you can win with so he's a player you have to get rid of before the team can contend.
