I don't know. Maybe I've got bright red Kool-Aid lips, but I think this team could surprise some people this year. On paper, they're a year and a couple of free agent signings away from being awfully interesting in 2008. But I think they might be a good bit better than people think in 2007 and it's not like it will take 100 wins to walk away with the NL West.
Imagine if, all of a sudden, the plan that Monfort and O'Dowd have been talking about these last few years results in a young, major league experienced team in 2007 that's supported by a stocked farm system. Throw in a couple of strategic free agent signings next Winter and I think there's a chance O'Dowd has the last laugh yet...
We shall see, I suppose.
