They had a solid roster in 2015, let a ton of talent leave, and never replaced them anyone anywhere near as credible.





They let Pedro Alvarez go for John Jaso
They let Neil Walker go for Josh Harrison

those were the only two position players they replaced from the 2015 team

AJ Burnett retired
JA Happ signed with Toronto
Charlie Morton signed with Houston
they replaced them with John Niese, James Tallison and Ryan Vogelsong

Josh Harrison can play a plethora of positions. They could have certainly kept both he and Neil walker.

Yes, AJ retired. However, nobody of equal value was brought in.

Jameson Taillon was in our system. He wasn't taking up much salary. We could have promoted him to the majors and brought in an adequate free agent replacement after AJ left.
