I'm not ecstatic about the lack of power in the OF, but I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt with our current infield construction. When I take a step back and look at the guys that have left versus the guys we added, I don't feel we'll be any worse in total runs scored. 

Gone:Aoki,Guti,Smith,Lee,Lind and Marte  New:Segura,Valencia,Haniger and Dyson all appear as good or better than most the guys that have left.

We'll keep our fingers crossed with Vogelback and Gamel but it's just a bonus if we get worthwhile numbers from one of them. I know the big three will likely regress some but I don't believe everyone is going to play to their bottom. I think we score 730+ runs and that's a win with our improved defense. 

I'm just praying we add that MOR pitcher(not a 5th starter pile guy) to put us in a much needed better spot with the starting rotation, but I'm feeling peachy about the offense. I'm always too optimistic as we roll up on spring training I'm sure.
