Well, it's 1926. We acquired a bunch of relievers for the glut of starting pitchers we had, as most were either holdovers from past years that used to start and got bumped.
The only new addition to the rotation this year is SP Brady Patterson who went 16-11 last year in Toronto, he came over in a trade. The bullpen has been revamped and I think we've got the best pitching staff in the league from top to bottom.
Offensively, we're balanced again. We dealt Julian Ayala to Newark as his contract was too expensive. The new offense contains a 115 RBI catcher named Mike Ellington who came over in a trade from Dallas. Another newcomer is Doug Picot, an outfielder who scored 100 runs in Toronto. The rest are holdovers by and large.
I think well be successful during the regular season and while the playoffs are a crapshoot, we could be poised to make some noise so long as guys do what they look like they're built to do -- get on base and score runs productively.
Well, let's get the show on the road.
PREDICTION: 95-67, 1ST PL EAST
