I completely disagree with this. I give a shit if we get killed after 2017.
You could look at 2015 and easily conclude that Alex Gordon's decline has already begun. I don't want my favorite team to be stuck with a horrific contract that would make it impossible for them to be competitive after 2017.
Dayton Moore's strategy is to build up the farm system and then keep a continuous pipeline of talent flowing to the MLB team. I see no reason to abandon that strategy now.
