I wouldn't argue with any of that (except maybe the FA reerun piece, but Dayton is SO loyal to "his" guys - Frenchy, Kendall, Colon, etc. I won't belabor the point).
Just was saying that I think the A's current hot streak is going to end, and they'll slip back out of the WC consideration.
I guess my thing is that I won't be satisfied with pushing all in for one year. The foundation is in place to build this into a long-term winner, and it is within the self-identified financial constraints to make it a winner by buying a few free agent starters or trading some minor league surplus for one and signing another.
I'm with Deez. If they DON'T make some major moves in the offseason to take advantage of this, I am giving up on the Royals ever being anything but lightning in a bottle during the Glass era.
I'll still watch. I'll still occasionally go to games. But I'm not going to care like I do now.
And if
I'm saying that... things are bad.
I have been looking at 2013 as the year everything really starts to pay off for quite some time. So Moore has this offseason to keep me from abandoning his ship. I've got the life vest on. The winch is turned on and ready to lower the ship into the water. Only a last-minute course correction will keep me on board.
