Offense - About the same as last year, but slightly less versatile with DeRosa
Defense - About the same, maybe slightly better with more speed in the OF with Bradley, Gathright. Miles is only good at 2B so some versatility lost here.
Bench - More speed, more LH bats, maybe a slight improvement
SP - About the same, or slightly improved if Harden can stay healthy and Marquis/Shark match what Marquis did
Bullpen - Slightly weaker. Vizcaino is good in spurts, but overall pretty bad. Gregg is slightly worse than Wood, but that depends on health
I dunno, I guess with the league and especially the division getting weaker (this is a recurring theme) we're slightly better to about the same on paper.
