If he stays healthy, he'll win 16+ games easily. It really doesn't matter if he's an ace or not. He's good. Dempster and Lily are good. Wells is looking like he's good. If healthy, I don't expect many problems with the rotation. It's funny to me that this is even a concern.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
The rotation isn't a concern. As a whole, the offense probably won't be either. Defense and bullpen, that's where the problems are.

Yeah, I agree, the lineup and the rotation are gonna be fine. If we are gonna do anything this year I think we are gonna have to do something about the middle infield and the back end of the pen.

Even just bringing up Castro, moving Theriot to 2B and trading for one good setup guy would make a world of difference I think.

Could Marshall be that setup guy?

Like the idea of going from Marshall in the 8th to Carlos for the close.
