Clearly the strength is the rotation, especially if McGowan and Verlander fill out. The hitting is average, and the pen is awful. Don't see this team breaking the .500 mark. It needs hitting and pen badly. I'll be looking to trade for and draft hitting specs this and the next few seasons, but i don't really have the good vets other than Vlad to use as trade fodder, so it looks like the draft will have to do.

Gotta love it when you got a guy named Pinky and a guy named Sweetbreads.

I kinda thought they were from the olden days. They had some really creative names back then.
