Yeah, in a way I feel like Sabean kind of stumbled into the WS win in spite of what he did. Not a knock of the 2010 squad--they deserved it, they won it fair and square and every WS winner has a lucky game and a lucky break here and there on the way to their victory. They were a confident and clutch bunch and they still have that swagger this year, too. Since their pitching is solid they could do it again, and having Beltran certainly makes them better.
BUT, looking back at that team on paper it's pretty amazing they were able to do it. I mean, Renteria, Uribe, Huff, Burrel, Rowand... bleh.
