You need to be semi competitive, you have a brand image to keep up. Also having a strong veteran presence in the club house is extremely underrated. Your team culture is very easy to manipulate right now with lots of young guys and a new coaching squad, its important to have it go in the right direction.

I disagree here. I think adding veterans to a team like the Astros is overrated. As a Mariners fan, our team was where the Astros are 4 years ago and all the veterans they brought in didn't do shite except block the younger guys who needed AB's and innings. This was the first year I felt like the Mariners made progress with their team and that's because they decided to sink or swim with their prospects.

Most of the 'good clubhouse guys' turn into moody, old vets once they end up on a 100 loss team anyway.
