Outside of a staff throwing like the 1968 Cards this team will not finish better than .500

Key offseason adds were a LF who has not had a good year in a while, a utility infielder that was wanted by no one. The Reds money men had legit shots at Beltran and others and played it safe with retreads they were familiar with.

I am biased, but I do not see this as a Dusty problem, unless he has complete say in who the team signs and does not sign.
I've been saying this since the second week of the season and all I heard was that it was too early to panic. Now that the season is a quarter gone, it doesn't look like there's been much change.
