In response to another poster, you said that it was a given that this team wouldn't have the best ERA next year. The implication being that the M's had more ground to make up in order to be competitive than it seemed.  My counter was to point out that this staff wasn't anything special and had a ton of room for improvement. We already have the pieces in place to do that and I have full faith that Z will make savvy moves to take things to the next level. Whether the staff as a whole was slightly below average, exactly average or slightly above average doesn't change the fact that this team relied on a whole bunch of dreck to get through '09 and has little reason to expect significant decline in 2010.
So where do you think this team will rank in ERA next year?
