I agree with Wiggen.

I would guess Lopez will put together a full season...but I think its offset by Betancourt's unlikiness to repat his performance last eyar at the dish. Id say we are marginally improved offensively, with Everett gone and the superior Guillen here. A full season wtih Vidro as opposed to half season with others should be ok...not as good as a full season with Snelling (at DH, so screw the health concerns)...but adequate.

Bullpen is alot worse. I think the rotation is even worse, believe it or not. Then again Felix could always take a step forward, but I dunno if he'll do that unless there is food in front of him.

Basically its last year again: Questions, questions, questons. I think we'll score more, but give up more...im hoping for 99 losses, but I would say we get maybe 76 wins. Its a pretty close comparison.

Knowing Seattle's luck right now (All sports teams, the major storm, the adding a ton of nuclear weapons, etc)...with the luck of the city, I would imagine we win 117 games and lose in the second round of the playoffs. I have zero optimism right now.
