I am honestly so wishy-washy on this team this year, but I usually am every year, so I'll put my faith in Billy B for one more season.
I'm always worried about production from our entire infield, Swisher excluded. Our offense looks average at best.
Our pitching staff remains one of the best, but we need to stay healthy to truly compete. We need big years from Shannon Stewart, Milton Bradley, Bobby Crosby, and bounceback years from Joe Blanton, Eric Chavez, and Mark Ellis.
That said, we may have 2 top 10 pitchers in the AL in Harden and Haren, so a 7 game series may favor us. If we get there.

A lot of question marks around this team I seriously don't know where we will get our scoring from this year. I hope crosby can get it together but I have my doubts.

Yeah I have a lot of the same feelings as you guys have.
I think Eric will have a pretty good year especially after last years extremly bad offensive year for him.
I think the key to this team will be how Bobby produces behind the plate. If he has a big year I think we can make the playoffs. If he doesnt have a big year we are in deep trouble.
I also love the idea that Travis Buck made this team. I think he can bring so much to the table. I am really looking forward to what he does this year. I expect pretty good numbers from him.
