If Ramirez were to have his career year, and Soriano were to be on the field for 150 games this year how many wins is this team going to pile up in the regular season?<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
It seems that you need all 25 pieces working to get those 97-win type seasons. Think of Andre Dawson's monster 1987 MVP year, when the Cub's came in last place...I think we'll need good pitching, and everyone contributing.
Still, if there is a drop-off, Aramis could go a long way towards making up the slack. He seems capable of a 40 HR, 140 RBI season.

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
