Right now, I think they're probably a 70-75 win team as it sits now, but could go higher depending on how the young players do (Lawrie, Hill, Lind, Snider, Drabek, Rzep, and Stewart)
Can't wait till spring training.

I assumed Lawrie will be our everyday 2nd baseman, and AHill moves to 3rd? Maybe thats dependant on Corey Patterson in Spring Training?
I think Cito pushed this team to a few more wins than they were worth, perhaps at the expense of youth and learning.
Then again its relevant to think that with Halladay in 2010, they coudla easily been a playoff team, the same in 2011 had they kept Marcum, but I like this way of just collecting young players as i think they will all hit stride together in a few years, then you can dole out some money for a couple veteran pitchers - who will want to play for this team then.
