The value we got at the end of this season was to get young guys lots of innings, and Homer Bailey to shape into a legitimate starter. They are closer to building a team, but probably cost prohibited from finishing the job. They need to land a GOOD pitching coach.

I don't see where you have anything to be embarassed about. Votto and Bruce spent significant time on the DL and Volquez missed most of the season. I'm not interested enough in saber to do the math, but anecdotally at least, I'd say they easily make up the four game difference between my 78 and your 82 if they're healthy all year - even with Taveras sucking a caramel stick as big as a redwood log in the leadoff spot.
