Dayton's clock is ticking. Tick tock, tick tock.

I can almost guarantee you that he's got through at least midway 2014. When he made the Shields trade, I'm certain he convinced Glass that it created a two-year window. And he'll tell Glass now that he's assembled the pitching, now give him this offseason to acquire some hitters, and we'll be competitive in 2014.
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.
