I hope you're right. Castellini's comments today about contending next year concern me greatly. Beyond the surface, I don't think there's any way to read that well. If he truly believes that this team can contend this year, then he's not rebuilding. If he's just saying that to appease the fans, then he's not the straight shooter he claims to be.
I guess there's also the possibility that Castellini and Jocketty are not on the same page in terms of their plans for this team. Which is also cause for concern.
I'm so skeptical of this team's delusional interpretation of the word "rebuilding" anymore that I am staying away from that stadium, arms crossed, until I see it happen. And that means the follow-through, not just the initial steps.
