Team Swag
Starting Lineup: 35.72 (1st)
I don't consider this the best offense in the league, but the ratings disagree. I think the OF has some issues. Rasmus still hasn't put it all together, and Joyce needs to prove he can do it again. I don't trust Chase Utley anymore. Nice pieces in Santana, Longo,, and Tulo though. Curious to see how Hosmer does with a full season.
Pitching Staff: 23.49 (9th)
Some intriguing names on this staff. What to expect out of Darvish? How will Pineda handle NYC? Can Cueto increase his k/9 like some think he will? There isn't a true stud on the staff, imo, but some serviceable talent. In great shape with saves, too. 9th may be an underestimated ranking of this unit.
Bench: 2.33 (10th)
-Nothing to get excited about at all here, to be honest. Only three bats on the bench, although I consider Jackson a starter over Rasmus until Colby proves he can produce. There will be a lot of empty roster spots on days that KC, Phi, TB, and Col don't play.
Overall: 61.53 (4th)
Again, I don't agree with the rating here. I can see him making the playoffs if he manages effectively, but there are a lot of holes. I'd personally rank this team in the 7-9 range rather than 4th.

Hot Stove
Starting Lineup: 30.17 (8th)
-Lack of star power appears to affecting this team's offensive rating, but it's a decent unit. No real dead weight at any position, but no stud that you can ride to a victory in a given week. May need some help in the homer department.
Pitching Staff: 25.58 (4th)
-No super studs here either, although Price could prove to be one if he does what I think he will. Latos should be fine in Cincinnati, and Lester will be Lester. Bud Norris and Addison Reed are wild cards here. I like Bud for his strikeout potential. Let's see if he can improve on other parts of his game. In decent shape in the bullpen.
Bench: 3.10 (5th)
-frick Edwin Encarnacion. More wild cards here with Markakis and Rios. Cespedes has great long term potential. Mesoraco could take over for Montero in this lineup if Dusty Baker starts trusting the rookie.
Overall: 58.85 (6th)
This could be a playoff team, in my opinion. I don't think it has quite enough thunder to win the ship, but in the playoffs anything can happen.
