Optimism With Math

The thing is, with young players, one can be "realistically optimistic" like this and it's not a farcical stretch. It could happen. The only part of the team that's not young and likely to improve are the starters. Also, this doesn't count other potential scenarios: a mid-season pickup, addition by subtraction (e.g. Francoeur and Hochevar), and perhaps one more free-agent signing.
