I wouldn't totally rule us out this season. But. like crazydog says it's very questionable. If Greene comes back strong, we might have a shot? If not, I'd say we'll have to get some pretty big breaks from other teams.

I don't think we'll see an improvement in the bullpen, unless maybe Antone's return and possibly the guy(s) who gets bumped out from the rotation can help eat some innings to give these guys a break.
Weaver is who he is at this point. He might be ok to pitch a couple innings as a middle reliever, but he can't pitch more than once through a rotation.
Ashcraft, Abbott, and Williamson seem reliable still.
Bats have cooled down since the ASB, which is to be expected for all these young guys.
The magic is starting to wear off and pitchers are starting to find out how to better attack them.
