Preseason Predictions

I actually don't think pitching will be a downgrade from last year... we lost 1 main starter, but I think we will be stronger in the midweek games and I think our bullpen will be deeper and stronger than last year... thennnn, getting Robert and Frank into the pitching staff should take it to another level overall....

I think it’s better to look at Robert and Menendez as potential late season upside than anything you’re actively counting on this season.

Control tends to be pretty transient for guys when they first come back from TJ. If you think back to a couple years ago, it was about two months before Caba and Walters were able to reliably lock it in which would put these two around the start of postseason if they return mid to late March as expected.

No clue, but what is expectation that hitting is a major improvement, while overall pitching is maybe only a small to medium downgrade? Or is that expected to be the same or better from last season? Fielding Id think you'd hope for it to maybe be on par or only a slight downgrade with the improved hitting?

I think that’s a fair way to look at it going into the season and we’ll see how the pitching clicks into place.
 
Before the season started, was thinking 30 or so wins, similar to my thoughts last year.
For all of our sake, I hope it's at least 35.
