As I said I another thread, Price was handed a 68 win team minus Cozart plus 2 journeyman relievers and expected to do better.  This is a major league roster littered with minor-league caliber ballplayers.  

Not only will this be a long, long season, but there may be several to follow.  If they don't start spending like a real MLB organization, this will be our reality thru 2020 at least.  A "3 year rebuild" didn't do squat for this team after 2013/14.  It's going to take a hell of a lot longer to fix a team this historically awful.

I think it's all about progress/development. I don't necessarily care about wins/losses if they can find some quality core players and shape a roster for the future. They haven't developed (or found) many quality players yet. And like you said, the future actually doesn't look much better (at least not now). Heads should and probably will roll because of that.
