If the starting pitching holds up, absolutely. That was the main focus of FA.
The bullpen has been terrible at times, but luckily there are some possible reinforcements there down in the minors.
The offense is what it is. It will struggle some days and roll others. Probably will have several stretches of both throughout the season.
But again, that's why you have the starting pitching. To keep the score down and the game within reach when the offense struggles. It will come down to them performing and avoiding injuries. Period.
