Nice 'pen.

Big question marks?????

Harrison a 3B at 2B
Jaso a DH/C at 1B
Kang's knee?
Jordy Mercer SS had to get off to a quick start, guy is like .180 or so lifetime in April, has to fight his way to .250 rest of the season.

That is one dicey infield, outfield, as good as it gets, four lefties in the rotation I like, dependable 'pen, but boy that infield is patchwork and I'm being kind because I want to see Pitt succeed.

Cards/Cubs/Pirates will all contend again, don't ever discount the red birds.
