I think there will be some "regression to the mean" by players (if they are still around) like Koskie (for the better) and even Hinske. His first year was like Aaron Hill's - its got to be in there somewhere. Vernon can hit better. But for same reason I fear a dropping off by Hill, Chacin and Zaun.
I am excited about the new players but it looks like an unfinished picture - in the infield, with overall chemistry and with leadership.

Re. Hinske, if he had 2 good seasons I would agree, but the one single good season suggests that pitchers simply figured him out and he's been unable to adapt. I'll be blunt - I don't think he's a everday MLB player in any fascet. But he'll likely be back simply because no one will take him.
