This is the year. Yes he's a rental. But if Skaggs OR Newcomb can be just as good as Tropeano, not better, just as good, then hell yeah you go for it this year.. Are you saying Trop or Skaggs guarantees success in the future?? They aren't even guaranteed to play in the big leagues ever. I was there in 2002, game 2 and game 7. I want that now and this team is good enough. We have Pujols being the Pujols we wanted, we have Trout, we have Calhoun and Aybar. What are we waiting for? We were right there last year and got run over by KC. I know.. let's blow off the year. Build the farm system for some distant dynasty that never happens, bitch and complain about the manager, blah, blah.. F that, let's go all in now. It's time. I'll take one WS this year, like 2002, over any BS wishful thinking in the future any day and twice on Sundays.
