Look set to be one of the stronger teams in the early seasons, with players such as Mauer, Rolen and Reese getting out of the blocks quickly. Hamilton in the leadoff spot, along with Reese and Anson after him, should set the table nicely for their big bats led by Hammerin’ Hank. Addie Joss fronts a solid rotation, but they’ll need to be at their best as their pen isn’t great and the defence behind them is suspect, especially up the middle.
