With Spring Training behind us, we cap the evening by simming to Opening Day. This offseason we replaced 2 departing starting pitchers with similar value bargains in Free Agency. We picked up Buck Ewing n Free Agency as well who is an elite defender but over 40. We also picked up Free Agent SS Cesar Izturis as a backup Infielder but he wowed the coaches and is now pencilled to start at Short.
We continued the wholesale replacement up the middle by trading for Milt Byrnes for CF and Brendan Ryan who will start the season at Second.
The procrostinators have us winning 99 games and taking the National League East behind a stout pitching staff. 3 of our returning starters appear in the top 10 National League pitchers and are joined by Free Agent Drew Pomeranz who they see going 15-9 with a 3.36 ERA.
Will be a very fine season indeed if this pitching staff lives up to the hype.
