It'll probably be a 4 man staff with Zito in the pen. The biggest change was not really changing the team much, which might be a first ever. Only 2 new faces on the pitching staff while all of the positional starters return. Hopefully we can build on the playoff birth of last season. Porter should pick us last more often.
