They look like an under-.500 team to me, which is quite the accomplishment when you have a Pedro and a presumably resurgent Carlos Beltran. They just look to have too many significant players who are likely to miss a good chunk of time this year (Martinez, Floyd, Glavine, Valentin).

Date: 31 Mar 2006 18:27 (UTC)1. Pitching. Tomko and Reuter have been replaced. Matt Morris had a great spring, and the competition for the fifth starter spot will leave us with a good starter and a long reliever. Jason Schmidt is healthy. We have two good closers. Too many times last year we lost a game because of our bullpen.
2. Changes in the infield. While losing J.T. Snow at first is a blow, I really believe that Lance Niekro will be a good defender as well as having a decent bat and great speed. Pedro Feliz has finally settled into a permanent spot at third. He's a great player with a bloody cannon for an arm. He will get a lot of outs from the third base line. And we still have Omar Vizquel
3. While the outfield still threatens to be the first group to have AARP cards along with their MLPA cards, they are a good group. Randy Winn showed that he can cover AT&T's large center field with great speed, which will take pressure off Bonds. And we have enough good-hitting depth in the outfield that the old dudes can take days off without losing too much offense.
4. Depth. Last year we were devastated by injuries. This year we have enough depth in the infield and outfield that we can weather the inevitable trips to the DL without taking too bad a hit. The only place I worry is the catcher role, since our back up catcher is a rookie.
