If you'll recall, it wasn't exactly a slam dunk consensus that you'd come out on top here so I don't think the foundation of the bet was poor. When three of your best arms suck s*** for a large part of the year, when Puig, Donaldson, Winker either sucked for a good part of the year or have been constantly injured, when Matty Olson misses like 2 months with a broken hamate, dunno what you can do. I gambled on guys like Ward and Lowe being up this year but apparently Pujols and Jesus Aguilar are indispensible. Made a mistake not having more depth.
I'm not rebuilding. With the addition of Lux, Severino and Lowe, I'm anticipating that my team will contend.
