I can agree with a lot of it. It was very stars and scrubs this year with practically no in between. If there becomes more in between then the stars don't need to be as bright. For that matter stars aren't just left over from last year's roster, many are developed, traded for or signed. We're not limited to what's already here, in the state it's previously been in. Finding replacements for guys before they do fall apart can extend the window and being able to see it and move on the best you can seems like traits Dipoto possesses.
Felix and Kuma may decline, does that stop Paxton Walker or Karns from improving or even just staying healthy to contribute near the same level but longer?
I don't see Dipoto not continuing to improve the roster just because it's more complete than a year ago. Maybe not as many moves but that also means that resources can be combined for more impactful moves.
I'm not saying it's in perfect shape, just that I don't see a shrinking window but an expanding one.
