I guess the folks advocating no trades giving up all of our positional player talent are content with penciling in Rizzo and Castro as our "veterans"? This team is gonna need at least one veteran on the offensive side that isn't home grown. Youth is not something to rely on. Even though the season isn't over, and I am sure I will receive flak for this, look at the Rays. If there is one thing I could point to as being their downfall this season it is a lack of veteran leadership and a reliance on unseasoned youth. It is sprinkled in their lineup and glaringly obvious in their rotation. I'm sure many will disagree, but I am fully confident claiming it will be their undoing this season.
