I disagree with your characterization of DD burning up the extended future. Are you so much more knowledgeable about the pipeline of prospects at the professional level than big league GM's that you can precisely predict a cliff in 5 years or so? Also, in the ensuing 5 years are you taking the position that there is no way of restocking the farm? That is no only fatalistic, but it is quite impossible to predict the actions of an organization over such an extended period. If you want to fret over this, that is your prerogative, but to push your concern as a certain impending doom is nonsensical. DD clearly is not in a win it now at all costs mode, because we still have a number of good prospects in our pipeline and some are major league ready now or very soon, and DD did not trade them for short term rentals or missing pieces. Also, he did not sign a big bat like Encarnacion which would have blown the Luxury cap. These are known facts. No one knows what the personnel of the organization will be in 5 years.
