I never predicted a record because I totally believe in baseball superstition, but I expected a lot before the season started that went on to happen.
The bullpen might be really good.
I expect a huge leap in 2011. He's (Masterson) way too talented not to, and his second half of last year was a sign that it's coming, I think.
I fully expect the bullpen to be a strong point.
"Who should we be expecting to step up this season?"
Asdrubal, Brantley, Fausto and Masterson.
LaPorta obviously needs to, but I'm not counting on it. Same with Hafner.
About Opening Day: I hate moral victories, but that might do more for a young team like this early on than a simple win would have.
Continual LaPorta criticism, Santana support, etc.
Have a pretty good handle on these guys. I guess I had better, as much time as I spend...
The most surprising aspect of the season to me was absolutely making a blockbuster trade, not the 30-15 start.
