This is a good thing.
Not as much as many expected
Get into the 80 win range then make the splash next offseason to make a run.

Nope, it's on. Wild card for sure IMO, outside shot at division this year...only Twins any good. The window is now open, exactly according to plan (3 year rebuild). Probably a playoff team next 3-4 years, hopes fully they get another ring.
No one saw 2005 coming.
Get ready to eat my ass, Jiddy
Cheers
Wild card at least. Book it.The 2005 White Sox followed years of at or above .500 baseball. Their jump in wins would be dwarfed by our current team jumping into the 90 win range. Not even close to similar. The Yankees had a better offseason than us on one player alone and were already over 20 games better. Perspective. Don’t be stupidly unrealistic.
That we were going to sign 2 B-C level pitchers in this FA crop was given.
Interestingly enough, I think the chances of winning our division are better than grabbing a WC spot. The A's and Rays won 97 & 96 games respectively, and those turned out to be the two WC records. It's quite possible that it won't take 96 wins again to sneak in, but it's likely that the bottom number will still be somewhere around or north of 90.Wild card at least. Book it.
