And a blue cap tip to @toogooden16 who reminds us all that last year the talk was of winning 90. So the GM thinks this team is about as good? One win fewer? It it all works out of course.
“So one of the reasons we’ve been fairly quiet is that we’ve got players with the potential to improve us by 10 games, which is what we need.
