Oh I know but it's also a mind set. There is no way Amaro could possibly think that his additions of of the Youngs, Revere and Adams was enough to turn a .500 team into a playoff team. Bottom line is he didn't do enough and I'm not saying he didn't try to do more but IMO you wouldn't see that from Holmgren.
I also think the addition of Lannan as your 5, as well as the full season (hypothetically) return of Howard and Utley were factored in as well. Also, for whatever reason, he thought Delmon Young was a gamechanger. WHY.
