“I’ve seen so much happen in various years,” Dombrowski said after Steven Wright’s gem in a 7-2 win against the Baltimore Orioles yesterday. “I like to wait early in the season before coming to any type of summation. . . . But, I think if you get to this point and you’re playing well, that you usually have a good club and you have a chance to compete.
