Does anything else matter to this organization? I don't think so. The fact that you would rather extend our playoff-less streak another 5 years for the OFF CHANCE we MAY be better in the long run is disoncerting. Do you expect the Yankees or the Red Sox to be this 'average' for another 5 years? Doubtful.
As a team/city that can't attract prized free agents very often, if we have a chance, AA should blow his wad on doing every last thing possible to make it.
Look at the Royals last year and tell me that making the playoffs after decades doesn't do wonders for a franchise

So you want the guy who made the Reyes and Dickey trades to trade more futures for veterans? Sounds like a good way to turn a 20 year drought into a 30 year drought if you ask me.
