CP: Nevius



Hoping Alderson finally gets his shit together. Weeks at DH vs LHP isn't really set in stone, but I think it's good to give Hafner a little time off and get some of the other guys in there. The starters I have faith in, Nevius has done well, but the bullpen is still somewhat shaky. If Hidalgo and Howell can repeat their solid seasons from last year, then the pitching will do fine. Leaving O'Reilly in at MO, hoping he learns how to pitch.

Hopes on offense: Bridges starts hitting for a better average, Wilbanks starts drawing walks more apt for his eye rating, Skipworth and Kaenie start hitting for power like they're supposed to. Also hoping Bailey's eye goes up and that his contact talent goes back to at least an 8.


I think I have a shot at the AL East, but more likely, I'll be contending for the WC.
