It depends. If you can get your old veterans cheap, and if they can perform
at a higher level than your young talent can *now*, why not the talent
develop in the minors while giving the fans some familiar names to cheer.
If the veterans are gone in a year or two -- that should be just about right.

Open question -- which was more important to the expansion clubs, the expansion
draft or the regular draft. (They've had one of each, I think.)
