There are no guarantees and never said there was. What I am saying is the SP, Defence and Bullpen are all better now than they were for the first half of 2015 when all 3 were awful. Their defence is now amongst the best in the league whereas it was amongst the worst prior to the TDL. Thats a huge difference.
Jays won 93 games and Price was responsible for 7 of those so this team without Price won 84 games and that includes only winning 50%. If you give the 2015 the type of defence and SP they ahve now I think they win more than 7 games before the all star break and thats why I think people are overeacting to how critical Price was. He was critical becuase of the position they put themselves in with a not so good first half.
BTW, Which KC starter did you pencil in for 15 wins last year?
