See my post last page. It can get so, so much worse.
Look at what the Orioles, Marlins, and A's have done over the years. They tore it down and moved good pieces. And it rarely works like it did for the Astros.
If the Lerners don't move this team in the near future, they will tear this thing to shreds under the laughable auspice of clearing salary for the new owner.
The words you're looking for, I think, are "Pittsburgh Pirates." Haven't won their division since 1992, haven't won a playoff series since 1979 (!), three consecutive years with a winning percentage under .400 and still no hope.
