I think wer're just as good as last year.

 

Also:Say how far you think we'll go this year and give a reason

shouldnt we wait until they actually make some moves? the fish have mostly cleared unwaranted salaries in order to gain affordable players. they are only half done.

Is it March or December? Does the season start tommorrow? I'm lost...someone help me out :cool

Ed,

Ok, i'm saying if the season started today (we would have penny and pavano)

 

Sorry

Already better with Burnett's return. And Beinfest isn't finished.

I don't think you can say right now if they are better or worse. Last years team wasn't "ideally" built, but it worked well. So who's to say that what they've done this offseason won't work. I think Benitez is an upgrade at closer. Having Fox a full year is an upgrade to the pen as well. If Burnett is healthy and back in May or June, then the rotation is upgraded. Cabrera and Conine replacing Hollandsworth and Encarnacion is a big upgrade, in my opinion. Choi for Lee is a downgrade right now, although I think Choi will eventually be the better hitter. Replacing Pudge with Castro/Redmond is a downgrade, although the dropoff in production may not be that great. The championship team had a chemistry that can't be duplicated, and that's fine. The Angels showed that you just can't assume you'll have that same chemistry just by bringing back the same team. I like most of the changes that have been made, especially from the financial standpoint. They've cut payroll while still keeping the team competitive. They may not repeat, but they should be in the running, which is all we can ask.
