I'm not so sure why everybody likes us as a Wild Card team...we're honestly probably a year or so away from competing. If a team was determined by how many 2.5 and 3.0 star players it had, we would probably go 162-0. Bush will get one more chance in the rotation and if he pitches like last year again, say hello to the 4 man roto...and it's gonna be a short leash for him.
