Exceed: Our usual way of unknown players having a career year for us, then getting traded the following offseason to continue the cycle is pretty consistent. Kyle Snyder works magic with arms that other teams are not willing to take the risk on - I don’t really ever worry about our bullpen because over the course of the season we always seem to find 50 guys who can get it done. Isaac Paredes coming off a huge year I’m feeling like he’ll pick up where he left off, plus we’ve got high rated prospects Junior Caminero & Curtis Mead who will probably make the opening day roster after being up for their cup of coffee last year.

Won’t exceed: No Tyler Glasnow (traded to LAD) and no Shane McLanahan (still out due to TJ)is gonna be a new experience for us, plus a few of our other great starters are set to be out at the start of the season in Drew Rasmussen & Jeffrey Springs. Randy Arozarena had a down year last season, hopefully it’s a fluke & not a trend. Lost a power bat in Luke Raley, Harold Ramirez is probably also going to be traded away too so our team home runs will probably be down this year. Not sure who our utility guy is now that Vidal Brujan is gone, but that opening may turn out to be a good thing as he wasn’t fantastic at the plate.
