Injuries are the only thing that are going to derail this season. But I'm not even worried about the regular season, it's the playoffs when we start underachieving.
I don't really see how you're better defensively. Have you forgotten how you guys kicked the ball around last Friday. Comparatively speaking:
LoDuca/Castro > McCann/Pena
Wilson > Degado (maybe)
Valentin > Orr/Woodward
Reyes > Renteria
Jones > Write (for now)
Alou >/= Langerhans/Thorman
Beltran = Jones
Francoeur > Green
