So they have replaced James Shields, Billy Butler and Nori Aoki with Edison Volquez, Kendrys Morales, and Alex Rios. So overall do you think they have improved the club, stayed about the same or slid backwards?

I hope that Morales and Rios have bounce back years which will definitely help the offense. Volquez has the talent to contribute but has been somewhat of a "head case" in the past. Plus I don't think that he has never pitched in the American League which could be an issue.

Thoughts?
