I didn’t get in this thread, but I think I had us pegged at 78 in another one. What did I miss? Acuña being an MVP-caliber player in the 2nd half, team defense (thanks Dansby, Ron Washington, and better analytics), Folty taking a step forward, Newcomb’s big first half, Neck Boogie, and Anibal the Canibal (I expected Ani to be good but not nearly the presence he ended up being).

Well you were super-duper wrong on that front. If not for the "prospects" like Folty, Acuna, Albies, Camargo, Swanson, Touki, Soroka, Sobotka, Minter, Newcomb, etc. this team would be nowhere this year. I never got the whole "we don't need prospects, we need real MLB players" line of thinking. Every single MLB player started out as a prospect. Sure, the attrition rate is high, but prospects turn into stars all the time and that is exactly what happened this year.
