[QUOTE="champaignchris, post: 1631609, member: 26283"] We’ve seen a lot of small sample size flukishness in the early part of the season. The offense isn’t great, but it won’t be as bad as it looked during the first two weeks of the season. Hendricks and Davies won’t continue to post ERAs three runs higher than their career averages for the rest of the season, and both had real nice starts in their last outings. On the other hand, the team won’t keep being on the right side of 1-run games like they have over the last week. I think barely above .500 is about where they’re going to be until the trade deadline, at which point they’ll need to decide whether to go for it or sell off, and that’s all going to do with where they are in the playoff race. As I don’t see anyone running away in either the Central or Wild Card race, I suspect they’ll make a few marginal additions and try to squeak into the playoffs. [/QUOTE]
