The Champs of 2006 have a rotation that should be above average in 2007. The starters are:
1. Oswalt 2. Garland 3. Lowry 4. Bonser/Liriano 5. Scott Baker
Relievers:
Capps, Sweeney, Capellan, Grabow, Waertz, Barry.
Paul lost a very good closer in Fuentes but gained a TOP prospect in Scott Elbert. Fuentes was going to help the bullpen big time but no way Norridge could not make the deal with the upside of Elbert.
Rotation is good (last year was great) but the bullpen could give the Champs some problems.
Lineup:
1. Rollins SS 2. Hudson 2b 3. Hall 3b 4. LaRoche 1b 5. Pierzynski C 6. Encarnacion rf 7. Conine lf 8. Crisp cf 9. Pitcher
This lineup lacks power but has very good defense on the field.
In the past, defense and pitching allowed Paul to play in the playoffs and win it all last year but in 2007 is going to be difficult to beat the OTHER Paul in his division or win the Wild Card, spot I believe is going to go to one of the team in the Robinson division.
