I think the Z crew can argue that this coming off-season will be the first in which they are really in control of their own destiny.
Bradley, they can argue, was just the best return they could get on Bavasi's Silva debacle.
Ja. Wilson, they can argue, was the best they could do after they had to pull the plug on Bavasi's long-term investment in Yuni.
Olivo was necessary because Clement, Johnson and Moore all cratered.
Kotchman, Cust, Ray, etc. were just trying to scramble get production without much payroll impact.
But, other than the lack of MLB-ready guys at Tacoma, there shouldn't be much BB-hangover left after this season.
