I did not expect a repeat of last year's playoff visit, because Phillips (at 29, sadly) is already falling apart, right after signing his big contract; I let some good arms go in the pen without replacing them; I moved two relievers turned starters back to the pen to help shore up that area, forcing me to maybe start a rookie in the rotation who should have been in the pen or in AAA. All that said, I thought .500 was a decent goal.
Not so much.
At least I'll get a good pick for once.
