Turn out the Lights on DFW

So after DFW 10-17 BK-2 home record, it looks like the Spurs are definitely in a rebuilding mode. When does a team go from being one with veteran leadership to just being old? That's what DFW must figure out. If the young pitchers can learn with 'on the job training', then DFW will be alright. They also need stopper K-Rod to find his 'ole magic'. This year's record of 2-4, 5.30 era and 9 saves isn't cutting it.

The idea was to 'reload' and 'rebuild' at the same time, however when the 'Spurs' made their big block buster trade (well let's be honest for the DFW this was a block buster) sending H. Bell, D.Dejesus, F. Sanchez and their 2011 8th to SPL for their 2011 1st, G.Parra, L.Cormier and J.Contreras. With the slow start in BK-1 which saw the Spurs with a 16-30 record fingers were being pointed and the blame game started. First there were reports that Ken Griffey Jr missed an pinch-hit possibility at LCC. When skipper Red Robbins was asked that question, C- V. Martinez said that he would ask 'Rojo' after his nap.

The 2010 draft for the Spurs was one with 3 purposes- 1- to get younger, 2- get starting pitching 3- to get younger. Not having a 1st, 3rd or 4th round draft picks didn't help. Fans had signs that read 'WTF' when DFW traded a 5th to HHA for veteran lefty A.Petitte and then in the Supplemental Draft picked up veteran starters A. Harang & B. Penny, the average age went up not down. In the regular draft DFW drafted in Rd. 2 B. Bergesen, Rd 5 R. Belisario, Rd 6- R. Ohlendoff, Rd 7 C.Volstad. The plan was to mix in the youngsters with the veterans.
