...how many Mariners fans think contention is literally impossible (or at least so unlikely as to make going for the win a bad idea) despite the fact that our rotation is running a 2.25 ERA in the last 32 days (29 ballgames)!  That's...I just don't know how you fight that kind of pessimism.
Mega respect to you taro...you really know your baseball as you prove every year in fantasy play...but I just can't share your lack of enthusiasm.  This team feels on the verge of something truly wonderful.  Peguero and Wilson look like they can cobble together at least a 90-100 OPS+, Ryan should return to his normal (75-80, not 50) and his defense will probably get better.  Olivo's BABIP isn't going to stay this low and you've got Bard available to help at the catching position.  Ackley should be up soon and will probably upgrade 2B even over Kennedy's hot start...we dont need offensive miracles with this rotation...I am MAJORLY excited about this team...
