I think this team will just about finish above Oakland who are 1 year away from all those studs really maturing, but behind Seattle and Texas for sure.

Yeah, you lose confidence way too quick, IMO. They'll be fine. They have gotten off to a bad start. It happens. Even you have to admit that Matsui is better than Vlad right now, so that was an upgrade, and even if you think Lackey is the greatest thing than sliced bread, he would have only affected one game so far. Do you really think Figgy (or Oliver) is the difference between this team now and the team that won 97 games last year? Come on, give it a little time before you crap on them.
