If they drop below 500 and fall four or five games back I could see them become sellers but I'm worried that as long as they're above 500 and sniffing first place the management team will be too scared of the public backlash of a sell-off.
Not sure I would go quite that far and I am as big a Debbie downer as there is.
That 5 game sweep by Pittsburgh a couple of years back was pretty horrid as well.
A lot of the rule changes really neutered what council was good at in particular the addition of the DH.
So much so that now he's nothing more than a cookie cutter manager like 90% of them.
I really wish CC would have left weimer at the bottom of the order where he was.
Started to have some success and was getting pitches he could handle.
Now that you moved him up he's probably feeling more pressure to produce.
Let the rookie be where he was
Trivia note.....Richard Hunt of Muppet fame is the guy on the shoulders.
He and Jim Henson both died to young. He was the voice of "Scooter', 'Janice', 'Sweetums' and a few others
And it's not like adding one bat is going to make much of a difference.
There is something wrong from the top down with how bad this club has been offensively for the last 5 years or so.
