Ton of speed on this team and an airtight bullpen. Not a lot of power, but a lot of timely hitting. Scoring runs shouldn’t be a problem. Only wrinkle on defense is Mike Sweeney at first, gold gloves at pretty much every other position. Wish the pitching had a lefty or two, but I feel good about this staff. Lot of Cy Young awards there, and I’m pretty convinced if Sabes and Ape don’t get hurt, they’d be HOFers. How about you, whaddya got?

we don't have any good left-handed pitchers? And Bo Jackson should be an exception to your 3 year deal.
