I think this article has a good premise and the fire Terry Ryan people need to chill. I do think that Ryan. Feels we are close and that he may spend a little more to get one really good sp this winter. You add that to Gibson coming up, Dozier and Plouffe another year advanced and the emergence of our outfield prospects in AA I see no reason we can't be competitive in 2013/2014, he'll we aren't that far back right now!! I know the central is terrible but the Cardinals won 80 or 81 games a couple years ago and went on to win the world series.
