With the general ideas there.  He largely moved the holes down to the near farm levels.  If it simply continues it won't work without a lot of good luck or sudden development of several pick-ups.  This year I'd settle for a bit of good luck and development because overall I think the 25 (35-40) are stronger than most are crediting.

I don't like where the team was when he came in.  I think the MLB product is much improved even if we'd all prefer a TOR starter be added.  Could use a Cliff Lee deal about now.

I don't fully see it but people are talking up Miranda and Marco quite a bit.  I'm hopeful to see it.  No big obvious hole if either steps up a couple times with development this year.  Gonzales would make sense at full recovery from surgery but both being lefties only helps the possibility.  Moore is there too.  I think it's unlikely that any put up #2 level performance even still.  I'm higher on Leake and Ramirez than most though.  I think we just need one of the Ms (Miranda/Moore/Marco) to perform decently at the back end.  Surely they'll use more than 5 starters but the odds of last years usage repeating are veeeeerrry low.

I'd alternatively love to have Tiajuan back.  Not for Haniger and Segura, since Marte looks like nothing currently.  I still think that was the right move. 

I'm going to enjoy the offense this year regardless.
