[QUOTE="Second place is 1st loser, post: 1978122, member: 749504"] This is enormously worse than last year's team. As outlined, removing Bellinger and Candelario....they don't have an everyday, major league caliber 1st or 3rd baseman on the roster and PCA, while his glove is off the charts.....his ability to hit is a complete unknown. Strohman carried the starters in the first half of the season, but was awful the 2nd half of the year. Are we to expect Assad and Wicks to be as effective as they were last year? Bellinger carried the entire team for more than 1/2 of the season. Where is that production going to come from? If we went into the season, with the roster outlined, we'll be picked to finish 3rd or 4th with only Pittsburgh being a team that we'd be noticably better than. Hopefully this changes shortly.
