I like the look of this team. A little better than last year. I would think 90+ wins should be achievable. I will put the over/under at 91. I'll take the over.
The pitching assignments will likely play out pretty clearly through Spring Training. But there is always the possibility of drama if nobody gets injured and everyone pitches well... A good problem to have. I'll put my money on at least one or two pitchers not making out of Spring, with injuries of some sort (smart money is on Garcia getting hurt).
Only real concerns are back-ups in a few positions. Mostly concerned about catcher. If Molina goes down for any appreciable amount of time, this team will be in trouble. Tony Cruz was exposed both offensively and defensively last year. I like him for a few games here and there but he can't carry a load for more than a few games or to give Molina a rest. Apparently, everyone in the farm system is a few years away.
Go Cards!!
