Let's wait until the offseason is actually done before those questions can actually be answered. Personally, i'm fine with either Thames or Snider in left becuase even with a question mark in left field this is going to be a top 10 offence in the Majors. Pitching is the bigger question mark.

I agree, JP's team never had the farm system nor the MLB talent this current team has.
As for Snider or Thames, its possible neither of them could make the team this year.
JP had Doc but not much else.... Rios and Wells normally under achieved....
