[QUOTE="the juiceman cometh, post: 1743507, member: 747321"] So I think barring a trade, the roster is pretty much set. Thoughts? Here are mine: I think we're solidly in the running for a wild card spot. I'm not too confident about competing with this roster for even the weak division we're in, though I do think we're the 2nd best team in it. I think the Flaherty injury really hurts if it drags out. I'm excited about our outfield, and think they can all build on great seasons last year. Our corner infield is great. I'm not sold on us at SS, and while I think Edman is a great defender, and extremely useful because he can play a bunch of positions, I think he's horribly miscast as a leadoff guy and hope Marmol sticks him at the bottom of the lineup where he belongs. I worry we won't get as much out of the DH spot as other teams will. I hope Yepez gets a look as I think he probably has the most upside of our internal DH options (not counting Gorman, because I think he eventually starts at 2nd base). Pitching remains a big concern.
