The lineup remains pretty much in tact except for Rivas... if Victorino shows a pulse I'll be happy, if not, I'll be shuffling right field all season long. The trecherous trio in the middle remains in place, and 1-5 is pretty darn imposing, with 6 and 7 being decent, solid ballplayers.

The rotation may be the best I've had since taking over this team. A little young, and inexperienced, but if they pitch to their potential, I could get some decent results.

Despite not having the star ratings: Wimbley and Boyter namely, I love my bullpen. A lot of power arms...

Bench remains a glaring weakness, I will probably sign a few MLC's within the first few sims to fill it out properly.

Victorino is now a bench player... the void in RF had been filled. Pending approval...

No match for Houston.

[HafDawg2003]

I like it other than the bullpen.

Still waiting for your offense to beat my pitching.
