So far in 2015 the Diamondbacks haven't been very bad. Not worldbeaters, certainly, but not bad. Even a Diamondbacks hater, like Keith Law*, would admit they aren't the worst team in baseball.
But I don't want a kind of not-bad team. I want a good team. I want a great team.
How do you get to be great in MLB anymore? Well, luck certainly has something to do with, and so does bags of money. You could argue that the latter involves luck, or at least the fortune timing to be located in an area that is an economic hub.
