#9 - Greyballs - How Will only won one ship with the team he had assembled for the last 5 years amazes me. An obvious attempt to infuse some youth has hurt the bats but they should be dangerous enough to eek out some wins.

I am not enamored with his staff as much as a lot of you are. Felix and Zimm are nice #1 and #2. I need to see Arrieta do it again before I buy it. Doug Fister and BMac + Zimmermann? Do you the k/9? Broxton and LaTroy Hawkins are closer to the Hypercolor era than the them being good era.

I look at teams differently, I guess. On the pitching side you don't have to pitch all those guys...just need to hit 25 using your aces and fill in here and there with the leftovers...closers will change hands over the course of the season, migrating to the contender teams - not an early season/draft concern. Regarding my bats, I think I got younger and upgraded overall and I will win SBs most weeks. I'm in the playoffs...can't predict the rest.
