The M’s are half-way through this bizarre season. They’re nowhere near contention, but then that was never the goal. The goal is to start to see the outlines of what a contending team might look like. While the team keeps kicking out the date at which they’re supposed to be in the running, or at least not out-and-out bad. The key this season was to identify a number of players who could be regulars on a not-awful version of the M’s. You’ll recognize this as the goal of the last few M’s campaigns as well. But now that the full-on rebuild’s in swing, the M’s *must* identify some key players who’ll lead them to contention.
