I still think it would have been better off in the long-term by blowing it up, but if you had told me that Kirk would return to an all star hitter and Springer would come back from the dead at 35 and our bullpen which most people thought would be mid would have this kind of ceiling and Barger would fall from the sky...sure. I don't know if you were predicting all that but if you did, good on you. Dunk away.
If I knew all those Domino's fall, I would say they have a chance to get out of the AL, everyone knew that the American League was more wide open this year than most years, I had mentioned this myself, that I don't remember the last time the American League was this wide open with so many teams expected to compete for a playoff spot. 12 of 15 teams are no more than 4 games out right now. But, again, if you feel the need to dunk, dunk away. Either way we still need an ace.
