I would hope they catch fire, or lightning in a bottle and at least compete for a WC. Short of that, this team is about as predictable as Sybil and her multiple personalities. One day they pitch well but can't hit a ball into the ocean. Another, they hit like no tomorrow but can't hold a lead. Then, like today, they get great SP and hit and play enough defense to win 5-0. Short of the playoffs without competing for a WC, Z should be dismissed. Compete for the playoffs, but come up short, he probably keeps his job. Their overall record, above or below .500 probably dictates his fate. As far as trades, promotions, deletions go, offense remains a priority given the woeful production, especially clutch (pardon me) situations. I would not be surprised to see a promotion or two shortly from Tacoma or a trade. Although the team lacks many valuable trade assets, excluding the obvious untouchables. They seem to be not far from success and then proceed to lose 8 out of 10. Extremely irritating and frustrating season thus far. Lloyd appears safe although he's somewhat attached to Z, unless he loses the clubhouse. Not likely, his players like him and he's mostly adequate with roster management. But he needs baserunners and guys that can hit. Something Z seems unable to deliver.
