Outlook: This team is every bit as talented as the elite teams in the AL, but for some reason this team only wants to play .500 ball. So I decided to take a risk in dealing Holliday to solidify the bullpen. This team has the talent to win 90+ games. Question becomes can they put it together?

Comments Welcome.

Well hopefully, the new adjustments will help some of the slumping players in production this season. I still would like to find one more bat on the bench.

Kevin Ahrens or Ryan Theriot are available for bench bats

Roster adjusted for current pending trade.
