We've had way too many seasons where the defense was abysmal. Not only that but Benson had a used car mentality. Sell them while they have value. It wasn't until Loomis came on board that Benson changed the way he thinks about moving players for profit. It was a poor business model but it is ancient history now and we are considered a premier destination for free agents. We hold onto key players. Sometimes we have a tendency to wait too long to move a player because we are a family owned business who actually cares about the players.
