But Stiepermann, Vrancic, Hernandez and one or two others

didn't really click until season two.

So we can hold out some hope that this season's signings will kick on.

The difference though? Those three mentioned above were all seasoned pros, not kids.

We need two or three of those, especially if we lose any of Sarge, Nunez, Sainz.
