I don't see a team without Adam Jones, Caleb Joseph,  Manny Machado, and Jon Schoop with no FA acquisitions of note will improve that much. 

How’d you think we’d do in 1989 after trading Eddie away?

Good point. I love Eddie.

We do know that rebuilds were different back then. Like Baseball.

I don’t know if I’d say that.   1989 was a case of a lot of breaks going our way.    We had two poor years after that.   Bob Mikacki and Jeff Ballard were Cinderellas for a year.     A lot of guys had very good seasons that one time.    Stuff like that happens every year to some team.   Ask last year’s Twins, who won 85 games after winning 59 the year before, and this year they’re back to being bad.

I would make him see a headshrinker. Find out whats wrong. He seems to be in a daze sometimes, like his mind is far away.

Don't look now, someone's got a 'modest' 4 game hitting streak

You can't force him to pitch in the winter league.

 But we can gently suggest that it's for his own team's good, as it's for his own -- that he should become a top pitcher in the winter league. And if he refuses this fabulous offer, then he can spend next season riding the pine. I may be wrong, but I think he'd rather learn how to be a top pitcher than sit on the bench as spectator.

Since his chances of becoming a top pitcher are zero, I think he’d rather spend time at home and try to work on his hitting.

Craig Worthington's one good year.

He could become a decent mop up man. And who knows? Maybe he could become a 2-way player like Shohei Ohtani.

No, he couldn’t become a decent mop-up man.   I’m glad he threw two scoreless innings six years ago.

At least by pitching, he could help contribute to more runs scoring than he can as a hitter

I'll be the optimist........he's hitting .319 with a .373 OBP since August 24th!
