Just no. That team was FAR FAR FAR from all in.
J.P. Arencibia was the starting catcher with no back up plan. Did you see our second basemen that year. It was f***ing Izturis and Bonifacio. We didn't sign any big free agents... Instead we traded a ton of prospects for a lot of big contracts.
Going for it would have been signing Greinkie that winter and not praying that Brandon Morrow is healthy or Josh Johnson can put together a season, or Ricky Romero is going to rebound.
There were still a ton of question marks on our roster. And most of the questions were answered negatively in the end.
Good try though.
