The follies of the previous regime will leave their impact on the 2017 Diamondbacks and beyond until they decide to finally cut their losses and rebuild. With a league worst farm system and aging stars, expectations should be tempered. They may surprise with young players improving, but it shouldn't cloud the bleak future outlook of this team.

I'll split the difference between 69 and 86, which averages to 77.5 and round up.

Because nothing could ever be as bad as last season. Right? RIGHT!?!?!??? In all seriousness I'm just drinking the cool aid of the new regime (minus the Dark One Mike Butcher) and this season could be just as bad, but I think our starting pitching will at least be decent and a return of Pollock and Peralta should keep our offense respectable.
