    Keep the lineup exactly as it is but replace Danny Santana with Ronald Acuna and things are looking a little better.

    The big question for me still is starting pitching. They're just going to have to sign a bigger time free agent to help tie things together i'd think. certainly no guarantees on the farm at this point.

    The team looks to be in tank mode. Once the players feel like they are no longer in contention it can cause a malaise on the field. Some teams that lose for a long time have a hard time shaking that malaise off. Once of the most important things JS did when he came in was change the negative culture in the clubhouse. This is why I dont like tanking. Losing should rarely be accepted as no big deal.

    Really hope Hernandez is gone after this year.
