About this time next year, I hope we are talking about our historic and recording breaking 4th. |

I already have a spot picked out for my next replica WS ring. Let's make this happen.

Has this team ever won 100 3 years in a row? That can't be very common, can it?

Yankees from 2002-2004 were the last team to win 100 games 3 years in a row. Interesting they failed to win a World Series in that span The McGwire/Canseco A's of the late 80s came close to doing it, but failed. It's pretty elite company we're in

Even with losses of Correa, and Cole (Add a full year of Alvarez and a healthy McCullers), the team will be capable of another 100 win season. |

I have my doubts about a 100 wins next year given our pitching concerns. We'll be good, but Oakland will be good too and I'm not sure if that gap between us will be as big as it was this year.

A Verlander - Grienke 1-2 punch will still be the best in baseball. Add Miley, and a healthy good McCullers, a full year of Alvarez....... I like our chances, but you are right, On paper there will be a slight drop. |

I don't know that we can count on McCullers to stay healthy unless he is in the bullpen, and I'm not sure if Miley can actually repeat his performance even if we did bring him back. I'm worried it will be Verlander-Greinke-Mediocre FA-?-? with no depth. Our offense should be similarly good, and I feel we have a good amount of depth and utility on the bench. Our bullpen is also questionable after Pressly and Osuna. |

I'm just not sure we'll be 100 Win good again. Luhnow certainly has to do some magic. |

I trust Luhnow to try, but sometimes things don't work out that will be out of his control. |

Has this team ever won 100 3 years in a row? That can't be very common, can it? It’s not very common, but a couple of teams are in the same boat with us. I think the Dodgers and Yankees are right there too. They have a shot at 4 in a row next year, the Dodgers benefitting from a weak division. |

Our bullpen is also questionable after Pressly and Osuna. That is the concern with Lance, his breaking ball is his number 1. The pitch takes a toll on the elbow and he is unique in his delivery of the pitch. As we just have witnessed this season with Colin, leaning on the breaking ball leads to arm problems. |

I think we’ve already seen the last of Collin McHugh. Good luck to you, buddy.

Yeah, I doubt McHugh is back with us.
