about our rotation. Lilly has been our best starter for awhile now.
Now, no Ted.
No Dick Harden to give us a chance at upside.
Randy Wells was a pleasant surprise last year, but he was such a unique case, that I worry whether he'll be able to repeat his performance the second time around the league.
Z and Dempster are, by their very nature, erratic and unpredictable.
We don't have a "rock" that we can count on. We have nobody in AAA who projects as a "breakout" possibility. I really liked Guzman as a possible closer, and he's gone.
I freaking sound like Negative Jim.
Someone, please talk me off the ledge.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Ledge smedge. If you made it through the years of Andrew Lorraine and Jim Bullinger, you'll make it through this year too. Come back in through the window. I'll heat you up some nice Campbell Chicken 'n' Stars and we'll rehash the Scott Bullet/Ozzie Timmons debate.
