Think so?
Without Steele, I think their rotation is ok but they have no depth.. If we had Daniel Palencia closing, fans would want an upgrade. And their starting 3b has an OPS+ over 20 points lower than Campbell got demoted with. Oh, and their bench is useless.
On the other hand, an elite defense. If every starter got nominated for a Gold Glove, it would not surprise me. (And I will be surprised for every one that doesn’t except Carson Kelly.) They have 2 legitimate and one dark horse MVP candidates. And Counsell seems to be a good manager.
