The breakdown: My entire lineup is under 30, and some pieces remain in AAA. Still could improve a few spots, and some guys have some filling out to do. Rotation has some pieces in AAA as well, and I could use a dominant reliever.
Prediction: I think I will do alright this year as players progress, I expect my team to get in stride next season. I see about a .500 record or worse looming.
