Offense - check - I think our O will put up some decent numbers.
Defense fielding - check - I don't think they're awesome but will be adequate.
Bench - check - One of the better bench's in baseball.
Bullpen - check - while not world beaters I think if they're not to wore out by September they could be just enough.

Then the giant question mark ?

Starting pitching - ?????

If I had to bet now I'd say they'll max out around .500. Here's to hoping they surprise us all !

If the starters can manage to average over 5 innings per without giving up too many runs we'll be in the running. I think the days of multiple 20 game winners is over and complete games by starters are going to be more rare than earthworms with lion's teeth.. 
 "Here's to hoping they surprise us all !"  Indeed!
