We're stuck with Frankie because of the contract, and Senga has to stay because the cupboard is bare behind him. Alvarez, Mauricio, Kingman, Squirrel and Mr. Pointy stay; all the rest can get flushed. I mean, wtf is DJ Stewart doing getting a new contract? And we hardly need useless washouts like Wendle and Narvaez blocking the kids. Or Marte's rotting corpse.

But it's not time to panic yet. If in two seasons we can't get Kingman to stop my calling him that, and McNeil is declining, then yes, move on. (Bonus, by then Frankie might be amenable to being moved.) Let's not punt the decade until we need to.
