And I\'m sorry, but have 2 winning seasons, 2 losing seasons, and 2 winning seasons with varying degrees of effectiveness by our offense year in and year out is not what I consider to be a consistent product. 14 straight titles? How about finishing .500 or better year in and year out. We\'ve never done that in my lifetime. The pitching has been about the only thing that has been semi-reliable over the past 6+ years.
Well we'd never been to the playoffs in back to back years in my lifetime. But guess what, now we have. I think you forget just how bad this team always was before Hendry came along.
And career years from almost everyone last seasosn? Like who? Font, TheRiot, Soto, DeRosa, etc...
And I wasn't aware that we only replaced one player from last season. Yep, one everyday starter. Lost one: DeRosa. Added one: Bradley.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
So I guess the entire bench doesn't count. DeRosa must have had 3 career years in a row then, if what you're saying is true, and 4 if you count this season. And Font wasn't an everyday player last season, so different role. Soto, it remains to be seen.
And don't ever tell me that I've forgotten how bad this team was before Hendry or even 3 years ago. It's a BS thing to say to anyone on this site.

So your theory is that this team cant hit because we have a different backup middle infielder? Or is it cause Hank White is gone?

Clearly it's all Gerald Perry's fault.
And this organization will be consistent only when they are competitive year in and year out. 2 years is not consistency. 4 out of 6 isn't consistent. If they can be competitive for 5 years in a row, then I'll change my tune.
