Hope is dumb, but necessary

As we look ahead to 2016, we hope, and even logical and well thought out legitimate reasons to think the Diamondbacks will contend seem pie and the sky.

Everything is setting up for a preseason narrative of "The Diamondbacks could really shift gears this year and contend!" You might roll your eyes and say "Clefo, if that is your real name which it probably isn't, that's all preseason/spring training narratives for all teams in all sports!" And you are more or less right, but the Diamondbacks are reeeeealllly setting themselves up for it.

The offense as constructed right now is pretty good.
