And by competitive, I mean if we win 80+ games, he'll think that means we're on the right track (in year 8) to finally begin turning the corner to slowly start working our way up to 82, then 85 then 87 then 90 wins and hopefully compete for the division title sometime around 2018 ... although since Mondesi and Bonafacio will be relatively new, Dayton will argue for patience, that we can't expect these young players to actually compete until 2020 or so.
I'm sorry, but I've become so ****ing cynical about this regime.

Dayton has next year on his contract so the skinflint owner will likely factor that.
Sure, he has told everyone these two years are the end point o his plan. After 2014 that will be the end of the line. He has zero clue how to build a winning team. Winning 78 or so games in year 8 isn't success, it's embarrassing
