No matter how you slice it, for 2010 to be a success you're counting on JJ, Nolasco, Coghlan and one of Maybin/Volstad along with Hanley's health.
Inevitably, one if not two will let you down while one player (I'll go with Uggla if we keep him) overachieves enough to make you forget that player X let you down.
The $45 million roster probably has to be assumed to be a +.500 squad, but 90 wins is a lot to ask out of a team playing in, yeah I'll go ahead and say it, the best division in baseball. Screw the AL East, 1-4, no one has anything close to the NL East and our doormat should probably win around 70-74 this season.
I think the Mets were good for a 10 win improvement before they got Bay, I think the Phillies can easily win 100 and I think that both the Marlins and Braves could finish with 80 wins just as easily as they could with 90 or more. There's so much talent in this division now it's retarded, especially if we keep Uggla and don't have to move salary elsewhere.
