Brock, I think when healthy Contreras is a good add.  Based on his history in the game, even at DH and 1B his body is subject to historical levels of wear and tear, so I put his GP over/under at 108 since 135 seemed like a career year.  I believe we bought high.  We have to hope 2/3 of a player can be back filled by Casas, Yoshida and Abreu the lefty platoon player. 

We are not ready to win the playoffs - We should get in but we can't win with the current lineup.  We have a DH with little power hitting 227 and a replacement first baseman hitting 219. (Yoshida/Lowe).  We scored 4 runs in 2 games against good pitching - Just like you will see against playoff teams.  I like our young pitching but we must get replacements for the 2 mentioned hitters thru free agency or trade to contend.  Don't see a solution in our farm system.  Those two spots need to hit with power.

I have no defense of Breslow except he is a pawn to management.  He can't be this inept on his own!

I love the Walker Buehler signing.
