Carlson will continue to improve. O’Neill will be about where he was last year. He’s a keeper. Goldy will play at his level for 2 more years. Arenado will improve a bit at the plate. His defense is the best on the Team. Albert will retire before the All-Star game. He’s not going to be very productive. Dejong will improve his average to about .230. Gonna see him go for the downs more than just a few times. Bader you saw his career year last year. His Defense is the reason he is here. But his decision making not so great. Too many diving attempts at that crowd pleasing play. Better swing a trade quick before he reverts back to what he has been for 4 years now. Yadi is Yadi. Won’t hurt us on D but his offense will head further south. Edman is adequate at 2B makes a great 6th man. Need Sosa and Gorman to step up and take the MI positions. Sosa beat out Dejong last year but it didn’t matter to MO. He’s the one holding the reigns here. The Pitching staff will not overwhelm but will be adequate. The bullpen will be solid. This team could have really used a bat like Castellanos. They elected not to spend. The defense won’t overcome the offense this year. Looks like 82-86 Wins max. Hate to be pessimistic but that’s my feeling on the subject. Oh and Bally sucks.
