I maybe wrong, but I think Nolan is going to see if there is any significant upgrade in the off season (as well as how CarGo is dealt with), and if he doesn't like what he sees, he is as good as gone. He watched the Tulo debacle and I doubt he is going to be put in the same position. The players and the fans also deserve better. The only way I see improvement (other than blind luck) is if the Monforts sell the club and take all their yes men in the front office with them. New owners that install a proven baseball executive from a winning club as GM, could turn this around quick with the current core of players. Some significant pitching upgrades and this team could be competitive quickly.
