“I'm not going to sit here and say we're going to compete for the playoffs this year," Lucroy said in a telephone interview Tuesday afternoon while running errands back home in Lafayette, La. "If I did that, you'd call me a liar. I'd lose credibility and respect. "I want to win and I don't see us winning in the foreseeable future. I want to go to a World Series. That's what all players want. Rebuilding is not a lot of fun for any veteran guys.” I can never get this quote out of my head when it comes to Lucroy. Did the team this year in spring training have this mindset? Yet we were competitive til the last game of the year. To me, Lucroy is always a “me first” type player, and wouldn’t want him back.
