Agreed, but I would still include Rios, and Pierre, in the equation.  Couldn't KW have made better choices than those two?

I don't think either one is an egregious mistake. Pierre is an upgrade over the previous occupant in LF, and Rios might not be worth what we're paying him, but he hasn't been a bust. Streaky hitter who can play defense. Again, upgrade over the previous player.

On the other hand, we're empty-handed for Swisher and didn't bother to replace him until signing Dunn.

Teahen is a waste of any money we've given him, and gave up a better player in the bargain.

I still think with our rotation and the bats return to expectations, it isn't impossible for us to recover. The division is hardly stellar and no one is going to run away. 85 wins might be enough.
