Not surprised.

If they can stay below 189, it might be a wasted yr again in 2014, but they'll be able to rebuild much quicker in 2015/2016. If they go over 189 and get hamstrung by the increase in lux tax costs, its going to be a long ~ 10 years of losing.

No pitching, no reliable infielders.

At least we have a great outfield though. :lol:
