Yeah.
The rotation was a disaster in the first half.
So I imagine the hope is that having what should be a much better rotation for the first 90 games or so will balance out not having Price for his 11 starts in the last 70 games or so.
Plus hopefully a rejuvenated Tulo in the batting order for the first half.
Plus a hugely improved defensive line up with Tulo again, plus no revolving door left fielder.
The pen isn't pretty, but there are some young live arms in there, so it might be alright, especially if they do add someone.
