I can't disagree with what you are saying. I do think with Sims being healthy as well as Simmons (and few others hurt), I think we would have at least made a regional.

But to think we aren't in a rebuild year regardless of the reasons is pretty obvious, we only have 3 of the eight defensive players (SS, RF and 1st base with Hatcher) playing this year. But yes, maybe we should have played the younger guys mre late in the season when it was obvious we weren't going to make a regional.
