Well said. This is also what I think. We’ve got clear contenders and then the middle tier which is where we sit. Nothing wrong with that. We’re a young team with a lot of young players who aren’t even in their primes yet.
Not sure why we all of a sudden became contenders when we missed the playoffs in 2016 and were swept in 2017 by a team who we’re neck and neck with now. We’re growing and headed the right direction.
You have to learn how to crawl before you walk and you have to learn how to walk before you run. I mean how long has it been since we started rebuilding, we basically just finished that process not too long ago.
