Did Mo do enough in the offseason. He went after some good pitching.......and he also went after some old pitching and players. The 20024 Season could be sponsored by AARP.
Did he get enough players to make it happen or do they struggle to make a run into the playoffs?? Looking at the roster, I'd say we need to buy tickets now to the 2014 World Series.:rotflmao:
I still say 90 game winner and they make the playoffs. Mo and company will be on the hot seat if they aren't in 1st place by end of May. Maybe having Yadi back with help Oli out, but if they struggle, I see him gettiing fired and replaced by Yadi mid season.

This line-up and defense can absolutely be of playoff caliber. This pitching, not so much...
And this is why I don't gamble. As sure as I am this pitching staff is sub-par, thy will go out and win 90 games. I can't see it, but then again, I couldn't see a senile old man winning the Presidency by sitting in his basement and letting his opponent self-destruct...

I say @ most 80 game winner. Marmot is just horrible. Bout the only bright spots so far is shortstop..& late inning relief. Sad to see this bunch compared to all the gr8 teams players & managers of the past!

This team is mostly painful to watch and I'm not seeing much hope for a big improvement. The Manager is in waaaay over his head, and I suspect he will not make it much longer, unless they go on a winning streak.
It looks like it is going to be another loooooong season.

i fully believe a starting pitcher could be throwing a no-hitter thru 6 innings, with 50 pitches thrown and marmol would pull him..
he has napoleon syndrome badly and rightfully so, after watching him manage, i'm sure tons of people question his moves nonstop.
like him or hate him, at least you knew larussa was going to put a team on the field that would compete. i can't say that about oliver.
