It will be more exciting to watch but as for the wins, I expect about the same
And this pen -- well, have to see how this plays out over the course of the year

Hard to say. It doesn't look like this will be the year we can count on the pitching to start to excel, but it's not out of the question either. We really don't know what to expect for sure out of any of our starters.

I think they will be inconsistent at times. I'm really hoping for a Julio turn around as his past states is possible. McCarthy if healthy I could see being decent for the first half of the year with a mid 3 era maybe. Folty is s big question mark, I hope he can get his crap together and not be such a hot head on the mound st times. Newk needs to show he belongs this year. When Gohara gets back I still have high Hope's for him. I think they will be better than last year.
Same goes for the bullpen. It's only a matter of time before Minter is closing. Dude is a stud.

Yeah.. agree. I think there will be ups and downs, but overall I can’t see being anything but excited.

I think everything is up in the air and if you want to be optimistic or pessimistic you have every right to be.

I'm really wanting to see Dansby show strides in spite of people saying he's garbage already and want him out. I also want to see Minter because I'm convinced he's our closer of the future. I give Viz maybe 60 days in that role.

I'm currently thinking this team is borderline .500 so I'll take that going into 2019. It'll be a step forward from last year. I think a lot will have to happen for this team to finish .500. It really depends on a multitude of factors... 1.) Both Teheran and Folty, plus one of Newcomb or Gohara need to have above 2.5 WAR years. 2.) Freeman needs to have a 5+ WAR year. 3.) Albies and Acuna have to be 1-2 in ROY standings. 4.) The bullpen needs to be one of the top-5 bullpens in the NL. 5.) Flowzuki needs to repeat last years offense. 6.) Swanson needs to be a 2.0 WAR player. If that happens, there's a chance.

If all that happens then we are a playoff team.

Is there a reply to a post button that I am missing.
I am sure I am missing something. I am posting in the quick reply box
But the one thing that will be more exciting is Ozzie and Acuna. Swanson has to be improved as the season goes on -- he cannot be that bad. I will take league average
Don't know about third, Ender and Freddie should be keepers as they are the two best guys on the team and Nick should be his league average till he is moved around the deadline
Flowers and Suzuki -- they should be good enough but cannot expect last yrs career yr output
The young guys in the rotation are in their learning curve -- Folty just might find it and be better -- not ace better but better and JT -- mid rotation guy.
The pen -- that was costly last yr and I will believe what I see out of the pen as the season progresses. I do think that pen cost em a good 10 games -- an average pen would have been an 8 to 10 game difference. It was so bad last yr but JJ is gone -- in fact we have not had a pen for a few yrs now, I have no clue if some of these guys will be much better. So my prediction for now is 71-91.
Lets hope I am being pessimisticly wrong -- I want to be wrong

I have a feeling one of our young SP is going to have a huge breakout season. it's just a gut feeling, However, I think either Folty or Newcomb will be an AS
