I realize I'm in the vast minority right now, but I don't see continuing a rebuild as quitting. I've grown tired of watching the Ms go after pennant races they aren't' really in and hurt their long-term chances. Would rather they keep an eye on 2012 while building the best team they can for 2011 and hope for the best.
With a team built around the dominance of Pineda and Bedard so far, an overperforming bullpen, the team is still sub .500 (right at pythag and OPS differential).
Texas may not seem like much with their run differential, but they've had some bad luck. Team OPS 759, Oponnents 727. Luck-aside, they should be roughly 8 games ahead of the Ms at this point. The true talent levels are significantly different.
If the team contends you are happilly suprised, but you keep the eye on the long-term.
