Think of all the changes since 2011.

So we have turned over most of the roster.

Turned over the roster but Dunlap, Green, Atkins, and Andy (to some people) are HUGE parts of this team and 4 of your best players. We have turned over most of the roster, yes, but our 4 best players are aging or have contracts that are expiring. Thats not ideal. 

And lets not forget about the guys we already lost. Whit, Zeitler, etc. The roster turned over for those guys but their replacements arent nearly as good.
