Yep. For things to go horribly wrong (as in past 90 losses or almost 100 losses kind of horribly wrong) a lot of injuries would probably need to happen, and a couple young players would need to step back in a big way.
Worst case scenario for DM: after a bad 2012, his seat gets warm and we start to get some light chatter from a few fans that we need to fire the GM. After a bad 2013, all the baseball preview magazines might list his name as one of the GM's on a hot seat going into 2014.
