classic response and could be inserted by any fan describing any team. Never liked the coulda game two years down the road but that's just me. 1972 to 2010 was a whole lotta two year forecasts. Must be the way baseball go
There were many times during that period where the "forecast" realistically was much more than 2 years. In fact our first pennant race come out of the blue thanks to Billy Martin. It wasn't a result of any kind of forecast at all. Many other times we didn't have the kind of farm we needed to expect anything in 4 years much less 2 years. We do have the the farm now to expect something in the near future(2017 or 2018).
DT is correct. A lot of the guys that we are worrying about performing will be replaced by guys with much higher ceilings in a year or so. Some less than a year and some a little more. If Chirinos, Corpy, Pegs, Rosales, Field, Smolinski, Blanks and others aren't performing well enough or if you don't think they are getting enough playing time don't fret over it. They are not long for a starting spot on this team anyway. Many are simply placeholders and it really doesn't matter too much how good they are or how bad they are. Others are so young(see bullpen) that they are going to be hit and miss for awhile. Let's just be glad they get the misses out of the way now.
Nothing lost and probably nothing gained
Called developing prospects something Pday didn't seem to understand
Looks like he will need a little luck. PC is already indicating it
