It's also okay to just want to make the playoffs or win the division. It's sometimes hard to comprehend coming from Boston, but I've been in the Baltimore area for some time now and while this season has been disappointing, everyone was so happy when the O's made the playoffs the last two years. And not devastated when they didn't win the World Series (as people in Boston might have been). I'd be interested to see if fringe teams that add talent increase their playoff probability.
