Probably....
IMHO,
Benson, and Wright are filler material at best.. and much work has yet to be done on Bedard, Cabrerra, and Loewen.... rotation is shaky
As for the lineup... I think there is some hope... but not great hope... in reference to your propesed lineup.... I think Mora's days as a #2 hitter are long behind him... he should be a botton of the order guy now... with Markakis should be our #2 guy, for Huff can't run to save his life... Gibbons has worn out his welcome with me, Payton should be a bench guy but we may be forced to play him regularly because of our short-comings (He's NEVER done anything outside of Colorado)
Our pen may be improved... but for how long??... we signed some guys rather long in the tooth.... IMHO Penn should head for the rotation at some time, but he needs experience... though I think right now he might be a better option than Benson or Wright
