For all the glimpses of bright spots the past couple of years, are they really in any better position than they have been for the past 20 years? Outside of Cutch they are just bad. Tabata looks like a 4th outfielder, Alvarez is nothing, Walker is a solid 2nd basemen but he really isn't a middle of the order guy.
I know Marte is a big prospect but what kind of arms do they have on the farm?
