Hitting.
I love the analysis, I want it to be true, and, like CALSGR8, I've waited more than 30 years for a team that could win more than half its games. If only this 2012 team could hit!
Problems:
- assumes Espinosa and Desmond improve. They are key, yes. If they hit (and if Desmond can field)...
- assumes LaRoche and Morse can play. Morse worries me, and I'll believe that LaRoche is back when he starts three consecutive games and can pull the ball.
- assumes Werth will return to B+ level, which I expect
- assumes Harper will make an impact, which he might after ASB. Take a look at Mantle's rookie year, or the two minor league seasons it took Killebrew to figure it out.
- assumes there is a bench, which there isn't.
