Honestly, my general thoughts on the franchise are that I really don't like it all that much anymore. I haven't watched much of them since Betancourt started playing, because I figure I have MLB.TV so that I can watch the baseball that I enjoy. So, I watch teams that are fun to me, like Oakland, Cleveland, Texas, the entire AL East, etc. and players that I actually like. The past offseason was a huge part of it for me. I just grew sick of Melvin (whom I have almost always been a staunch defender of here) - especially going into the season without a first baseman and with a weak starting rotation. This team is rudderless and are pretty much headed into Bucks territory right now, as far as being mired in mediocrity (possibly at best). I want them to tear it down and go young, but their top trade chip is not going to be moved anytime in the next few years and the farm system is weak and I don't care to see any of them at the MLB level at this point. And I have doubts that ownership will ever want to do a full rebuild.
