I feel the same way, and it may be a function of age and experience. The last time I was really excited was 2003, and we know how that ended. Maybe that was the final straw---to be so close and to blow it in such spectacular, cub-like fashion. I've been skeptical ever since.
And then there was that year where the team blew apart, with the result of Stone leaving (even though he's an asshole now)--that didn't help.
I really didn't have a lot of love for last year's team.

I'm 100% fine with this. I'm just glad there's an actual plan in place that isn't, "Let's load up on retreads and hope we get lucky." I'm a little tired of that plan.
