It's hard to imagine that, after trading Cabrera and Willis, plus the stadium deal, that the organization is still sticking to its plans to compete this year. It'd be great if the team was in the division and/or wild card race, though I believe that's simply icing on the cake to the franchise at this point.
Speaking of 2011, building, and icing on the cake, we need to sign Hanley to a long-term contract extension ASAP. Paying Hanley will be a very positive sign to the fanbase and city going forward. The guy is an inch away from busting out into one of the best players in baseball. We need to lock him up.
.500 would be a good step forward from the total collapse last year.
