It's hard to not have a defeatist attitude.
They'll still finish with a pretty solid record and I hate feeling good about that because we traded for Shields.
I guess the positives for me this year would include:
- Hosmer potentially finding beast mode.
- Having the best closer in the game not named Mariano Rivera or Jim Johnson.
- David Lough. I probably like him more than some and he has been a pleasant surprise.
That's about it. I like the Santana acquisition and it would be in my list of positives, but I don't see him here for the long haul.
