Message: [QUOTE="dbmill, post: 3512968, member: 2504"] The Coach Penders quote "We never even got a team picture" sticks with me. Why? Because it is an apt description of what us fans got in the brief 4 weekend season that we experienced with this team. We the fans got only a very brief viewing of this team that did not give us a truly completed picture of this particular team. It was looking like it potentially was going to be a very good and interesting team, but overall the actual picture from the crystal ball ends up being all fairly hazy on how it would all shake out in the end. Certain things were shaping up, such as Nick Krauth being the true ace of the starting pitching staff, and Caleb Wurster as the no question about it relief ace. While there were a bunch of guys who showed something out of the bullpen over that short time period, we did not get to experience them over the long haul of the season to see how they all truly would pan out and see what roles the various pitchers would eventually settle into. And we really did not see a healthy Jimmy Wang, and we didn't see Justin Willis at all. Things were a bit more settled in the field, but it still wasn't a totally complete picture. For instance, Erik Stock was looking great at the bat over eight starts, but that still is not the long haul of the season. However, Reggie Crawford was thoroughly established at 1B, although his pitching potential remains a wisp in the wind. Would David Langer have grabbed the 3B spot? We'll just never know. We could go on and on this, so I'll just stop here. We got a glimpse of the team, but certainly not a clear team picture in that brief time. [/QUOTE]
