[QUOTE="Illinicpa14, post: 1101718, member: 338881"] I personally think the bullpen help is going to significantly improve the team assuming they can replicate what they have done elsewhere. Not just avoiding blowing games with leads but not having to give-up on games we were down 1-3 runs in the 5th-7th innings. I don't know how many more Cleto walk-a-thon's I could have taken last year. Agree with all the holes mentioned above on the Offensive side. I think we are one of 12ish teams competing for 4-5 open postseason spots across MLB, which is at least better than last year...the good news is that since the Tigers look definitely beatable, this division really is a 4 team race (minus the Twins) which gives us an opportunity at both the division and WC (as opposed to being with the NATS as an example). I'll predict an 82-80 season because of all the winnable division games but they are as high a variance candidate as anyone. I could see 70-92 wins depending on injuries and development/lackthereof.
