I have been a Braves and Oriole...I agree with you. I have been a Braves and Orioles fan for almost 50 years (since 1969, so you know how I feel about the Mets). Both had extremely extended periods of total incompetence (Orioles less so than the Braves). I would rather see my teams milk the last bit of competence out of their good rosters than tear down and rebuild periodically. I also think that rebuilding teams (e.g the Braves) should try to compete as soon as possible as opposed to waiting for the "right moment". The worst trend in the game is for none of the star players to spend their entire careers with one team. Playing for multiple teams has happened more frequently since the advent of free agency but there have always been some that stayed (not including players who strung out their careers for a couple of years with multiple teams). Doesn't seem like there are any staying any more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
