Maybe? I mean, ownership and the FO aren't exactly helping ......
CC and Ryan are huge losses to this team. Insurmountable? Maybe? It doesn't help that Lee (CC's best replacement, so Castro can play CF) is also hurt....and that Rodriguez basically missed the entire year, so he's not a Buxton replacement.
The refusal to deal for bullpen help, and the NEED to waste Varland's arm in the minors, is really hurting them right now, but I think the bigger issue is CC being gone, and Lewis not hitting.
