Which dozen years did you look at, Sandy? If you included any teams from the "Steroid Era", the results might not be an accurate predictor. Offense is very clearly trending down now that the artificial enhancements are being driven out.
When it's all said and done, the 2010's might look a lot more like the 1970's than the 1990's or 2000's from an offensive perspective. That's not to say that the M's are one bat away - I tend to agree that this team isn't as good as it's looked during the hot streak - but aiming for a 1990's offense might not be necessary. Get one premium bat and fill in a couple of black holes with average production and it might be enough.
