Prospects are getting better and moving up the system, guys like Cooper and Sierra are getting a shot to show whether or not they can be MLB players at all.

While it would've been better to have 10+ more wins than we do (which we likely would've had without all the injuries) we are now in contention to have a protected 1st rounder, which could be useful if we sign a better player or two the offseason.
But with all the hype coming into the season, it has to be considered a major disappointment. Its easy to blame it on injuries but it goes beyond that, too many key players didn't live up to expectations. A couple of big holes to fill before they will contend, unless they have a year where everything goes right.
