I think they're poised for a strong second half.

It reminds me a bit of the Jays the year they trade for Price and Tulo. They were a very good team playing .500 ball and then after those trades they were the best team in MLB.
Their numbers and talents say they should be better, but they are missing the IT factor. Someone who knows how to win and knows how to instill the "We're better and we know it" culture
Maybe Springer will be that guy.
I would love to see a swing for the fences trade though.
