So, we drafted teenagers. We added 3, a pitcher and 2 OF's, who should be helpers in 3-4 seasons. We traded for a couple of old pros, a hitter and a RP, to help whatever it is we have. Our plan is to throw youngsters out there no matter how bad they are (we don't have much choice) with 1 vet and hope for the best, adding a decent draftee for each of the next 3-4 seasons.
I'm not calling our strategy Youth Tanking because to me that implies having some talent to develop. We don't have that yet. Desperation Tanking is the term I'll use.

They won't win much, we just inherited a team with very minimal talent and no seeming direction.
