We can say they really tried this offseason. Or more accurately, we can't say (any more) that they DIDN'T try. Whether their plan, or their moves, in retrospect will prove to be effective or not, can be argued. That they tried cannot. I'm not particularly wild about Cruz compared to some, but I've got to admit that Cano, Hart, LoMo, Buck, Rodney, and Cruz represent a truly significant effort this offseason.
Not only this, but one can envision a scenario if a few things break right that the team might truly surprise. If it turns out that all some of the young players needed to reach their potential was more veteran help (and I myself strongly argued that point of view going into the Twenty TWELVE season), then things will be much more than a little different in 2014. .
