I'm not too far behind you age wise, 60 in my case. Part of me feels like you do, but part of me also remembers that at one point no-one used cut-off men and at one point there were only three infielders and the short fielder played an intermediate outfield position.
I don't want to think of myself as the guy who would gave grumbled, "In my day it was YOUR job to throw the %$#^ ball to the plate, not pansy-ass it to the shortstop!"
I may also be willing to accept new strategies more because I am a fan of a small market team and if we can't get 5 good starters, or a 2nd baseman who can hit both right-handers and lefties I am happy with a strategy that will leverage what we have into more wins!
