This team is still a good team. It's just an absolute crime that we are in arguably the toughest division not only in the MLB, but sports in general. The Red Sox and Yankees are always fighting for a playoff spot in the majority of seasons. When the other two teams in your division start becoming good, well, it becomes extremely hard to gain any kind of ground when you play a great chunk of ball games against the division. Our division record shouldn't be this bad, but it is and is ultimately the downfall of this club for this year. We really need to figure out something with this core.
