I've seen bigger deficits made up, for sure.
That said, so much of this lead has been built on nothing but pure luck. Who could have possibly predicted the unreal seasons by RA Dickey, Chris Sale (sure, good prospect..but this good??), Mark Trumbo, Johan Santana.
Add in Michael Cuddyer and Martin Prado.
All of them have far exceeded what they were expected to do - and I was lucky enough to pick them up. Usually, a certain percent of pickups come through. This season, seems almost all of them have. A l ot of luck involved there.
