Can’t stress enough how big a difference I think the change in attitude form the players will male. During the rebuild even though they are professional baseball players, the know the situation, the know it’s a tank and that the front office and some of the fans don’t care if they win. That makes a difference. The mentality alone could account for an extra 5 wins before you even add in the increase in talent.
I am delighted to hear the mentality seems to be a very united ‘It’s the World Series or nothing.’ I cannot wait for the season.
