They are a good team . But can they become a great team ? The offence isn’t inspiring a lot of belief for me right now

Yet they are much better than they were a year ago....that is improvement which you state they havent shown but in reality, absolutely have.
With ANY talk about world series stuff, it will always always come down to pitching. Are they good enough in that area? No. Not with Manoah out walking in the wilderness right now.
And again they have to shore up the pen either internally with White or someone else (unlikely) or via trade. I think the latter option is very likely but as usual they just have to keep it steady til the end of July when all the sellers are obvious and it becomes a free-for-all as to who gets who.
Manoah getting his command back, an add in the pen and a better option for a hitter than Biggio/Espinal/Lukes.....then yes i think they can contend quite well.
