You cant look at it like that though. You cant start rebuilding in 1 year with no money. Everything theyre doing now is plans for the future, and as much as I dont like it, are smart moves, IMO...The more I think about it the more I think the A's did the right thing honestly, the upside to Gio, and especially Cahill werent as high as they seemed...They traded for young talent and prospects that are going to take a couple seasons to shake out. Dont worry about attendance, especially for a team designed not to win in a stadium they essentially dont want you to go to anymore...And all that shit aside the A's NEVER sell out, there were games home games in 1990 they didnt sell 5000 tickets, there are stories about mid-season 1974, after winning 2 WS in a row that 500 people didnt show up...Look at it like this: Once the stadium is built, in either Oakland or SJ or wherever, they will have some of the top prospects with 3 seasons experience, Jemile Weeks with even more, their minor league prospects will be ready, and money coming in from said stadium. They stand the chance to be in a very good position once this is all figured out. Its just the waiting and bullshit in the meantime that sucks, lol.
