I had terrific pitching last year(ranked in the middle of the pack in almost every category) but hitting wise..well, what can I say, it was horrific. I can almost guarantee you that I'll have good pitching this year(my pitching staff stayed healthy all of last year, hope so this year) and if one or two of my hitters can knock in some runs, that'll help emencely.

Any comments or projections? Knock yourself out.

Mmmmmmmm.

Izturis and Pierre give you a .312 and a .313 OBP from the leadoff spot.

If thats not quality then I don't know what is.

Yeah, Izturis and Pierre has been switching batting spots throughout last year. I need to stay consistent.

Very nice OF. The best in the NL.

I know what you're thinking, but look on the bright side, Torii Hunter's contract ends after this year! Whoo!
