We have tried hedging bets on platooning 1B and DH in bargain bin over the past few years and produced nothing
Apparently speed was always there to be used (or even not needed) and yet we steadfastly refused to even try stealing till meaningless September games
We have no contact hitter who would grind quality at bats day in and day out reliably
Bunts and Sac flies are non-existent
Over the years of mediocrity, what that translates into is inability to capture key moments in the game to consistently win against MLB opposition. I think its a systemic problem from top down to bottom up !
