The offense did finish ranked No. 22.
However, I don't forsee the end of season slump the team had last year. I think they've learned from their issues (many of which had to do with not being used to a tight race and wearing out a little bit, which added depth should help).
I also see players such as Dunn, Edwin and Phillips taking further steps forward, though Ross might drop back some.
I see the improvement in defense being pretty large though all around, which could be pretty important for the pitching staff as a whole, especially ground-ball pitchers like Saarloos. I also see Belisle stepping in to replace Milton pretty quickly, who I think will be dumped.
My picks for the season are because I'm a homer. Just how I feel. Everyone here should know I will talk negative about the team when I see fit.
We'll see.
