Geff, I was away and missed the contemporaneous polls. I wanted to chime in with an 82-win prognostication and just missing the WC. Still, as you have noted more than once, it has been an engaging, fun season with many points of progress on the field and in the front office dealings. This applies to Sherman, his willingness to try/spend, and Kim Ng's risk quotient.
The front office did a good job with Burger and Bell. Robertson seemed to be a trade they made to make a trade and even at the time I thought it was too much for an old guy without an awesome track record on an underperforming team that didn’t have a contract for next year.

It was àn expensive deal, but I was certainly onboard at the time.
