2) Brett DeVall (9-10-8)
3) Franklin Morales (10-8-8)
4) Ross Detwiller (9-7-10)

BULLPEN
Andrew Cashner (9-8-9)
Shawn Montez (10-6-9)
Sergio Silvera (7-8-9) (7-10-10 pot)
Gabriel Frederickson (4-9-8) (9-9-9 pot)
Oliver Perez (9-7-9)
James Robson (8-9-8)
Joshua Butler (10-5-7)

Detwiller/Perez might switch if Detwiller struggles. I am hoping Silvera can take control of the closer role this season since Cashner and Montez have both struggled there bad. Darvish and Offense should be solid, Johnson should be a good boost in the middle of the lineup with Delmon gone now.(who always under performed anyway). Miller could also get moved but I thought I would give him a chance. He might end up gone for a DeRosa/Betemit platoon which has had success in the past despite DeRosa beginning to show his age. Season really depends on the pitching performance though, or lack there of.

Suppose this is Cody Johnson's year to break out?

You could beat the A's if you got something out of your pen, he has that Manhardt guy creeping up so his pitching will probably get a little better. You should be able to stay with them for the most part, but he just has a little more of everything. You'll have to fight off the AL East for the wild card.
