Not saying we will tank although the ideas got merit, especially if the first 15 games go poorly. I think Dayton isn't going to go that route unless were sitting at 1-14, then he and Mike might decide to get the young guys up that are close to ready and I don't know what the trade rules are. They might move guys if that's allowed which it should be.
I actually think we might have a shot at the playoffs because it's such a weird season, it's not going to be good baseball, a lot of sloppy defense I bet and poor hitting to start. Some top guys may sit it out for various reasons, virus, getting injured in a bullshit season etc. We have a young team and young people are more physically resilient, prone to optimism that flies in the face of logic as well as bright flashes of brilliance. a .500 team might win the division and once you're in you just got to get hot.
Do I think this will happen, no but I'd take a playoff game or series with a few prospects on the roster than the 1.1 next year.
