Will 2008 Be the Year of the Optimist?
2-5 start says... no.
But a weakened Angels team and the 1-2 punch of Bedard and Felix means this team could eke out a playoff berth, and from there be a nightmare to face. If the Marlins can win two World Series, then I say, why not us?
Bats will emerge this year - its just a question of who? Jose Lopez is the early candidate, but don't count out Richie Sexson having a return to relevence. Or a surprise candidate like Jeff Clement or the Wladinator.
And if we are hanging out near the playoffs come July, we have plenty of talent available to trade, and you know who will be dangled by the Reds? Well, besides Adam Dunn? Ken Griffey returns to the Mariners for their first World Series title.
Its gonna be one heckuva ride.
