Really, really, really like the improvement in up the middle defense. It's not Parrish/Whitaker/Trammell/Lemon level yet (not many teams reach that level), but it's much improved. Don't know much about the defense at second base, but the additions of Barnhart, Baez, and (eventually, or maybe to start the year) Riley Greene are really gonna help this team. Nobody values defense enough in these projections, but that level of improvement up the middle, plus another year of development for the young starting pitchers, is gonna lead to very good things, sooner rather than later.
