So Ryan, who was a rookie didn't count? This idea that they don't have a pipeline is ridiculous. Ryan, ober, smeltzer, winder, and a couple rookie RPs isn't enough to add in one year? I like chief, but expecting more than that is ridiculous.
On topic, there is no guarantee next year is this good, how many years should they put off adding players while in first? They likely won't have CC, and Buxton had played way more games than previous years.
Exactly how do the naysayers think this team is better next, and NY, Tor, Houston, et. al. are worse?
