I'm excited for this season to start, way more than others. Sure, Wood (D.L.) and Prior (minors) aren't there, but our pitching staff is still solid.

My biggest question is at outfield. We have Floyd and Jones, who I believe could play good if healthy. However, this may not be the case. It would have been nice to see another big name outfielder on the roster this season. I guess we could shove one of the infielders in the outfield, because a few of those guys are utility players anyway.
