I don't care what kind of bullshite they've sold you, the owners are pocketing the revenue sharing money at a rate never before seen while claiming they are just "rebuilding", plain and simple. Maybe that will change in the future, maybe it won't. But don't give me this 10 year plan nonsense when you have no idea how many (if any) of these draftees will pan out. They are gaming the system at baseball and the fanbase's expense and have done such a good job of it that they have actually managed to convince the few Astros fans that still exist that it is somehow a good thing that they are fielding one of the worst teams of all time. It's impressive, really.
this is the gospel no matter a handful of naive sunshine pumpers think. also, DON'T FORGET THE EIGHTY MILLION DOLLARS they pocketed to move to the AL. bud selig moved HIS team to the NL and then pushed for (NOT required as these naive folks think) and coerced the astros to replace them in the AL. frick 'em.

I thought they shaved $80M off the purchase price. I guess you could consider "pocketing" $80M, but that makes it seem like the MLB paid the Astros to move leagues. In any case, it needed to be done. The NL Central was too big and the AL West was too small.
