In the second half of the season, I think they may be a good team to watch to make some money. The reason I say that is because they are playing like .275 baseball, which puts them on pace to be 44-118. I think it is very rare (although I couldn't find the exact records) that a team loses 115 or even 110 games in a season. This reminds me when KC had a start like this in '05, I believe. They were playing like .250 ball at this point and ended up losing 'only' 106 games. I made some cash playing them in the second half that season.
Looking at their lineup tonight, they have Tajeda, Markaksis, Scott,A. Jones, Weiters, Atkins at 2-7. That is not too bad. They should be able to score some runs from time-to-time. Obviously, their pitching must suck. I don't know about their defense or if they play hard. I know they may be getting Brian Roberts back soon. Anyway, just thought I'd throw this out there, point being it is really hard to lose 118 games no matter how bad you are.
