Ilitch can hide behind the cloak of "rebuilding" for perhaps one more year, but this season should represent their low water mark. Losing 95+ or esp 100+ again next season in what is and long has been the weakest division in MLB would be inexcusable, that along with being the franchise with the largest market share among their rivals as well.

But Chrissy stubbornly (and maybe intentionally) refuses to recognize the glaring need to overhaul the stale and ancient organizational tree that he inherited from his late father, which will cripple and long delay the franchise emerging from the depths of humiliating epic failure to field even respectfully competitive teams in the foreseeable future. Only if he has plans to sell the franchise within the next several years would this make any sense.

Consistently finishing among the bottom 5 each season, might fetch some studly star prospects whose ceilings are high, but after the first round all bets are off, b/c then the ballclub's ability or inability to identify talent which suits and fits their ballpark, scheme, and goals...then properly develop those prospect picks comes into clear, sharp, and full focus.
