Last sentence isn't true. 2008 was way worse. That team's best pitcher was John Lannan by a country mile, and they only had one usable reliever. Other than Zimmerman and Nick Johnson (who got hurt as usual), that team had absolutely nothing on offense, and the D was horrendous. Watching that team made me sick and angry that I even liked baseball.
This one has enough pitching and D to at least keep it hanging around non-Corbin games. There's also talent, albeit not yet fully ready. They'll probably lose 95 games, but it probably won't be as hopeless as the 2008 daily beatdowns.
Who do you expect this season’s best pitcher to be? Zimmerman and Johnson were both better than anyone playing this year
