Still time for the market to play out though, but I'm worried we're going to end up in some weird middle ground.
Those stats are terrible yes, but they probably don't entirely reflect the current team either. Moose is playing well, Soler suddenly looks great, really great... Perez and Gordon are back and playing well. Whit hasn't gotten going yet. We're almost halfway to getting Bonifacio back. Mondesi is off to another blazing start in AAA and may be back up at some point. The bullpen isn't good enough and that should keep us down, but there is also reason to believe this team can at least play better than 5-20-ish baseball. If they can find a good deal for Herrera, we'll probably become a pretty frustrating team to watch.

It might be now. I have no effing clue why we started the year utilizing Grimm, Maurer and Boyer. That is on Ned more than Dayton. Those guys are ****ing atrocious. Everyone knew they were bad but we all though, hey this is Dayton he'll have a good bullpen.
Now with Keller, McCarthy and likely Staumont and/or Lovelady at some point could be alot better.
