A .500 year much better than ‘17.

Can contend for a wild card next year but are years away from beating the Dodgers.

Only seven months til the Masters.

We hear a lot about how bare the cupboard is in the farm system.  But all of a sudden we have Rodriguez, Suarez (maybe), Hanson, Moronta, Black, Slater.  I think the issue is how long it took for them to recognize these guys could play, and how long they stuck with guys like Parker, Williamson, Ryder Jones, etc.  Not to mention some of the borderline pitchers they still have on staff.
