"I think we've come a long way," Sabean said. "When you consider some of our challenges in spring training and some of the question marks, we've got to be considered one of the most improved teams in baseball."
LOL.
That's all I can say.
well they are on pace to only lose 97 games and not be in last! which,sadly, is far better than anyone expected.
Defying odds in there favor once again, no crazed fan has killed Barry Zito yet!
So all in all a bit above expectations.
Johnny Mac: "We're a good team playing terrible baseball."
LOL.
That's all I can say.
That's entirely possible....being one of the most improved teams in baseball when your an old club that just got a year older and added Aaron Rowand, isn't.Quote:

Generally, you need to develop both position players and pitchers in your own system in order to run a well-sustained team. Of course, there's many ways to win...Quote:
