So far they are quite a bit better than both the 2014 and 2015 teams on offense. I'd say they are significantly better on D and those 14/15 defenses were great. We might even have better speed than those 14/15 teams. The starting pitching is about even with the 14/15 teams. The only thing that isn't the same or better is the bullpen. 14/15 bullpens were miles and miles ahead of this bullpen.
We need bullpen help. Probably 2 guys.
