Maybe it's ridiculous to you, but I'm not interested in the 1064 style of play because it does nothing for teams in the 21st century. There are outliers in everything and I'm not interested in cherry picking rarities. It's not just about homeruns either, but power plays in today's game to your dismay. Reverting back to a style of baseball that was played decades ago isn't likely to garner this team much IMO. Obviously you have a different opinion and I'm cool with that.Thats just plain ridiculous.
Its almost the same to say that about the the previously mentioned 1964 Cards or the 1960 Pirates, because neither was good enough to win the WS, because they were full of 'slap' hitters who didn't hit home runs.
The goal should be to win the division...and adjust the goal after that.
The goal should be to win the division. That has to be done in the AL Central to reach the playoffs more than likely. That doesn't make us a good playoff contender though.
Edited to say that I think we will be a good playoff contender within the next 2 yrs, but not as currently constructed. I'd love to eat crow if I'm wrong.
