As mentioned they have no depth and they have some fragile dudes. Their offense should be better though- adding Pat the Bat as DH and both Bossman Jr. and Crawford should rebound after some very down years. But it comes back to their pitching.

Expecting a linear progression for the entire rotation is foolish.<BR/><BR/>They have an incredible offense and defense, but I'd be concerned that the arms don't hold up quite the way they did last year.

That is a miraculous percentage of the time, and they would have to be extremely lucky to repeat that feat this year.
