I'm looking forward to this year. The rotation/bullpen scares me, but we'll have to see what happens.
But, I'm really excited to see how the everyday players develop. Other than Smoak, Morales and Pillar (who pretty much are what they are) every one of the other key players this year has upside and the chance to develop and get better.
Grichuk, Teoscar, McKinney, Gurriel, Jansen and Lyon all have the potential to develop into good players. I'm not saying they will be stars, but they all could be "something."
There's something refreshing about watching this team and seeing what kinds of upsides a bunch of young guys have, versus hoping and praying a bunch of old guys stay healthy/beat father time.
Last year we were all kind of hoping they could be good, but knowing they probably wouldn't be. This year we all know they won't be good, but are hopeful there is progression.
