Good job, Sunshine.
Again I am scared about the bullpen. I was worried last year and Ho Chi ended up being a helluva pitcher in that role. I sincerely doubt that Contreras can duplicate what he did. I've never been a huge fan of his and I think he'll end up with a plus 4 ERA.
The 5th spot is what it is...Moyer/Kendrick/Carpenter/whoever, the race won't be decided by this spot's success or failures. It comes down to 2-4. Can Hamels, Blanton and Happ be solid?
Happ struggled and nibbles to goddamn much. Go after people more, please.
Hamels has to be 2008 Cole and not 2009 Nicole.
Heavy B has to be solid.
I love the Polanco acquisition. I love him in the 2-hole and Victorino in the 7-hole.
What's up with Ibanez? His spring numbers are atrocious. They read like an article in the Brownsville Herald. We may end up seeing a platoon out there and I'd be ok with that.
Is Werth going to have a big contract year?
With all of that being said....
1st place, back in the Series with a 92-70 record.
