That is all that matters. Baseball is simulated warfare. And the only thing that matters is that our supply lines (minors) have to be better than everyone else and that our ships of the line (the ML team) are better than everyone else. The rest will play out.
Like I said earlier this offseason, the key is when to bet in. Prince Fielder is going to have a 5~7 year window at this point in his career. But we also have the same window with our players Ackley, Smoak and Pineda. And most of all, the King Felix window might just be 3 more years.
I can agree with Sandy that maybe we're not ready to get pushed over the top. But what I disagree on is the idea that we have to wait for critical mass. Rather, I think it's more or less managing the fact that the right parts overlap at the same time. The entire 1993~2003 M's are a testament to NOT doing it right.
