Completely agree. I can just see Marrone and Caldwell retained with added pressure to have a successful year next year, and the roster being band-aided with whatever we can afford to try and patch holes, and the whole thing going south very quickly. Clear house, rebuild around the good young players we do have and try to start something long term...
