Exactly, that's why I don't blame Ken for his doubts. As he pointed out, there's a generation and the beginnings of another one, that haven't seen the O's play in the WS. That's all this ownership group. At the end of the 2014 season, the Royals (the Royals, of all teams) added players to get back to, and win the WS. The O's told DD to "really dig deep into the dumpster this time".
Trust me. I hope I'm wrong. I would love to see them trade for an impact SP at the deadline(assuming they're still in it by then) and Means comes back and wins 15 games. I just wouldn't bet my money on it.
