They were failed by a mixture of injuries, poor player development, bad decisions and some bad luck.
Since then they have an entirely new front office and a top 5 system again.
But lets be really honest here, Tim Anderson went from an exciting player to a giant pile of shit in the snap of a finger. Eloy Jimenez can't stop getting hurt, Dylan Cease really didn't take off till he got to San Diego this year.
They also screwed the pooch by paying Yasmani Grandal and it just didn't work on top of choosing not to pay Rodon.
Of all of their top prospects Luis Robert is about the only one that has been an actual hit.
