This is a team that is 42-32 (a 50 win pace, 5 games better than they are now) in games not started by Parra. They can easily make a run by replacing him or hoping he reverts back to career norms. They aren't in the AL East, so it is possible. Right now, I think Doug is going to wait and see if they have a run in them, as they might well be more than one player away. An 83 win season is not a contender, but a bit of improvement, 85-86, and they're right in it most years. That's where one guy might just be enough to put 'em over the top.
