it was far from a perfect offseason. the team is still at worst good and more can be added throughout the season. almost any team’s offseason can be critiqued. for all the phillies added, they’re still starting franco at 3B when that was a strong FA position. (he’s started the season hot but i think we know what he is).

but it’s not like AA decided to trot some below-average team out there. a potentially huge player was added to a good young team. they are far from doomed despite the whine level.
