I guess it's a good thing that they aren't starting the season
tomorrow. I guarantee they will have second baseman and a first
baseman before the season starts. I even bet that even if they don't
land Damon, they will still have a centerfielder. Who, I can't say.

As for the bullpen, I am willing to bet that it will be better,
possibly much better next season.
