And Mstrpr I understand that you were able to turn the team around in one season, but every team is different. You had some prospects already and had bargaining chips to help your team become a contender while some of us must start from nothing.
Download the 2012 trade deadline file and tell me if I had enough prospects and bargaining chips to turn that team around as fast as I did. One thing is clear on your point though....I am a prime example of why realignment would not be a good idea having brought success to the Orioles in a division that had 3 top tier American League competitors.
