If Marquis settles down, Wang comes in back to form, Olsen regains his previous effectiveness, Livo keeps up his usual 2/3 QS, the bullpen hold together, and the top of the order heats up as the bottom undoubtedly cools off, .500 can be within grasp. But that's a lot of ifs.
It's not really. I like the bullpen, might be in the minority there, but I do and I think we've got quality guys ready to step in if those that are here crap the bed too many times. Wang coming back to form probably means he takes the place of Olsen or Livo, Stras the other or maybe Stammen. I'm also confident Zim and Dunn will heat up. It's really not that unrealistic. The only big if in that group, right now, IMO is Marquis and his track record over the course of his career is that he'll get it figured out.
