You're missing the point. The organization invested in flawed players to go from bad to mediocre. It reminds me of something the Mets would do. They should have focused on rebuilding the core. Right now, your young core is a slap hitting RF that weighs 250 pounds and is laughably bad on defense, a chronically injured slap hitting CF and a slap hitting 2nd baseman that can't hit a fastball and has poor baserunning technique to go along with bad hands.. That's not a core to build around IMO. Obviously, I'm not including Sale, Quintana and Abreu. I don't see the other players as anything worth building around or being major contributors.
What about Rodon, Sanchez, Montas, Anderson, Danish, etc? Aren't those all players that are worth building around? Obviously none of them will likely be superstar quality (except for Rodon maybe), but they're all young, talented players that should be part of the core IMO.
