[QUOTE="illini8507, post: 1184252, member: 17801"] I like our team and I like our chances. Obviously I'd be more comfortable if we'd landed price or heyward, but I'm comfortable with what we have. We lose lackey and Lynn and replace them with wainwright and leake, so I think our pitching is even or slightly better than last season 1-5 with the added experience for cmart and wacha. Hopefully garcia can give a full season for once. I also like the way our bullpen is shaping up save for broxton... that one was a head scratcher to me. Our lineup I think will be improved. Yes, heyward leaving hurts, but we replace him with some exciting young players in Piscotty and Pham. Also, we get back a healthy holliday, grichuk, and adams. Brandon moss was evidently dealing with some hip issues still last season, so hopefully that's behind him, and now Wong has a full season of experience. Plus, we add some quality depth in Pena and gyorko (or however his name is spelled.) Hopefully mike uses them well to keep everyone fresh, and hopefully we stay healthy relative to last year so he has the opportunity to do so. Basically, we need to stay healthy, which is true for every team. Cubs and pirates will both be tough, should be a fun season. Need to whoop up on cincy and milwaukee [/QUOTE]
