Vernon Wells and Torii Hunter both had subpar years. Granted neither is young any more, but Wells is only 32 (oops, he's on MLB network's Hot Stove as I type this, today's his birthday, he's 33!) and a good candidate to do a lot better in 2012.
Also, the addition of Wilson moves Santana back to the #4 spot in their rotation. I agree with G that we have the kind of pitching coming through the pipeline soon that I would match up against anybody once it gets established.
Finally, the Halos have created a pretty doggone good trade chip in either Kendry Morales or Mike Trumbo, a chip that can be used to upgrade a less-strong position or strengthen the bullpen.
We definitley need encouragement not to lose heart, and so often a supposed super-team disappoints for a variety of reasons.
