Seems like a lot of guys are freaking out over the first 6 games. Did you really think this was a team that could contend.
We're not good but we aren't as bad as we played either but this season should be all about 3 things...
1) continue to get good performances out of the veterans while coming up short in the win column so we can move them at the deadline, we aren't close to contending so best case scenario is to be out of the race so we don't give our trusty FO a false hope and be buyers instead of sellers...which we should be. Hopefully Colon, Dickey, Garcia, Phillips, Nick etc perform at a level that will draw interest of other teams during the deadline.
2) draft pick positioning, if we're gonna suck we might as well lose as many games as possible and get a high draft pick. It's not about actually winning the games but being competitive and in the games
3) Initiation and gradual improvement of the young players. As of right now there are only 3 or 4 players on the roster that are a part of the foundation for the future. Maybe a few more that could be role players but there is quite a bit of help that is on the way.
