So the perfect scenario would be for all the current key players on the Cubs to have season-ending injuries that would have no bearing on their long-term health, then the team can completely tank and can get in position to draft Rodon or Hoffman. Sounds fool-proof. =D>
No one will ever surpass the Marlins as far as non-NL central teams. Although I can see Padres, Giants, or even Mets. I guess it just depends on when you were born.
Role 5 is an average regular. It just goes by the 20-80 scale. 6 is a very good player with all-star potential, 7 are perrenial all-stars, 8 is... guys like Miguel Cabrera.
