You do know that you can get quite trainable 19 year olds with high potential and one big flaw for less than $20,000 don't you? Anyone can afford a trainee or three and while you are in a low division it should be a priority unless you have a strong chance at promotion this season. Even if you don't keep them you can buy three $10k guys train them for a season and sell them for $1-200,000 each (a lot less though now as half the season is gone already).
