Yeah bud, they won it all in 1977 but while they have been competitive most years this was their first time back in the WS since.
As is invariably the case with OOTP, whether or not they stay good is almost entirely up to how the AI manages the roster. It has already traded away Legacy Ken Caminiti when he was young and, although incumbent 3B Leo Gomez had a strong year, that's never a good sign.
I have them pegged where I think they should be for this period, as a mid-market club with the 10th-highest budget ($45m), and as at the end of 1991 they have a bunch of room. Fielder and Stewart are the only two set to walk, while Biggio and Bagwell are locked into long-term contracts with NTCs aimed at deterring their being traded, as is the case for all Legacy / Marquee Players.
Calderon is signed thru '97, while Jeffries and Bip Roberts are under contract a couple more years and the majority of others are under TC for some time to come. So if they are smart with their RM they certainly have the foundation for sustained success.
We shall see.
