We have the youngest team and we're 23rd in payroll with a lot of flexibility to make some moves. I addressed my major flaw from last season by bringing in Harang and Duke...hopefully, we'll start performing. I did trade a bunch of prospects, but my team is so young and I have the 8th pick in the draft to restock. I expect to contend for the AL West title this year. Thoughts?
