But the restructuring hurts the future of the franchise. I still dont get why Loomis and Payton are still so adamant about Smith and Vilma. We are carrying dead weight in them especially with the new 3-4 scheme ..
Loomis figures if we are still gonna pay Vimla and Smith if we cut them, so why not try to negotiate their salaries to a lower figure. They add leadership good depth even if they don't ideally fit in the 3-4. They would be better and probably cheaper options than their replacements would be.
