Recently, many writers have been discussing the possibility of a Brewers rebuild. There's been articles about who the Brewers should trade, what the return would be, why the Brewers can't stay on the current path, and much more beyond that. However, all of this is speculation that is generally framed in a positive light. We also look at teams like the Astros or Cubs, teams which tanked for a few years but are now starting to turn the corner. It seems like a great proposition: Tank for a few years, and then compete again with internally developed prospects. However, as good as the result could be, it's important to remember that there's no guarantee of success by taking this route.
