1. They're 6 out.
2. They trail 6 teams. If they were 4-5 back and only trailing, like, 2-3 teams, maybe.
Even with the positive results of these last few games, this still isn't a playoff team. It's nice to see them play well, but they're not all that good. The lineup still has problems (hi Jorge) and the rotation still has Sanabia (who's promising), inconsistent Ricky and Nate Bobertson in it. And the pen? Yeah.
If they wanted to turn it into a playoff team, they'd need to find another starter and at least one pen arm (at the minimum). That's going to cost far too much in terms of prospects, and it's not worth taking that risk for the slim chance they make up 6 games and jump 6 teams over the next 3 months.
