Getting an ace is not a must do or die. Getting 200 inning out each of Lester, Buchholz and Doubront is.
We will finally have some starting depth with Webster and Workman/De La Rosa. We had none of that this year and had to use Cook(ed).
The BP of Tazawa, Breslow and Bailey is a good start. Miller is a turd. You never know what he brings. Hope Bard can find redemption. We'd have a killer pen if he resumes the relief ace.
Some intersting FA: Kyle Loshe and Kuroda to consider.
