You have got to be kidding.
Or Ryan Zimmerman, or Gio, or a playoff run?
Not a fan of JZimm? Or a top-5 bullpen? Or a team above .500?
Not kidding.
Huge fan. But I'm not wasting my money and time on a team that could win now but refuses to because they're cheap.
We're not going to the playoffs in 2012. Not if we don't sign Fielder. Strasburg will be done mid August. I seriously don't see Wang making it through the season. So the back end of rotation is going to be Lannan, Detwiler, and .... ? Not confidence inspiring.
On top.of that, the offense will still suck. We're still going to he tops in strikeouts. The wont.bench.Desmond, despite the fact that he's awful. Morse will regress. Werth will cave under the pressure. Zimmerman will just get fed up with it all and decide he's not coming back. Harper will struggle a lot, at first, like he always does.
Basically, theyre telling me we're not ready yet and won't be until Rendon, Purke and Goodwin get here. So yea, back to the two year plan. Glad they locked up Gio. But frankly, its just wasting years if we don't get him more than two runs per game.
Like I said, I'll go to opening day because I missed it four years running and I'll tune in for Strasburg. Maybe Harper's debut. But beyond that, this season seems pointless to me without Fielder. We already proved we can play .500 ball. Five games above it is five games out of the wild card.
