Our pitching may not be as bad as I think, but right now it looks like one of the worst staffs in the league.  I am not sure what every other team has, but they can't be much worse than what the Reds have on paper.

Yep....agreed.  I am a Tigers fan in the American League (mainly because of Sparky's tenure there), I can recall seasons of leading the league in runs scored, strikeouts, and runs allowed.   Didn't win much, but those towering shots by Tettleton, Fielder, Deer, Fryman, E.D., Gibby, etc were fun to watch.  I remember one season, Rob Deer had 40 or so homers and hit like .185....and the pitching, oh the pitching.  That's why I compared them to the Reds, although I don't envision we'll see that kind of power.
