With apologies to the team I will name names for, the San Jose SaberCats need to start their rebuild now if they have not already. With only a handful of active players, some of whom are more recently created, they are behind the curve as their competition improves at more positions by the week. The SaberCats need to take stock, get what they can without trading away their actively improving players and try to convert that to activity.
Most of this will likely come through the draft, especially with some good bets on having a season to filter out the one-season wonders in the DSFL. This may involve trading away more valuable inactive players, though the curve will catch up to them if they try sitting on them. An active core is key to contention, and if you don't have it now, you need to get one and you need to make sure you get a net gain in activity instead of just exchanging one-for-one or dumping your current active core elsewhere and gamble on a wholesale rebuild through the draft.
It is a bit depressing seeing a team like them with good guys in it who could win if they had more. It's a bit disheartening they had to trade away Benson Bayley to put some stock into the future. Hopefully, they will not need to ship out anyone else currently active with the team to reach that end goal.
