  1. 1. Would adding Gallardo and/or Fowler make us a contender in 2016?

    • We are likely to be a contender with or without Gallardo and Fowler
    • We are not likely to be a contender regardless of whether we have Gallardo and/or Fowler
    • We need both Gallardo and Fowler to be likely to contend
    • We need only Gallardo to be likely to contend
    • We need only Fowler to be likely to contend

You know, it's not the offseason I'd have chose but I think as long as a couple pitchers get a groove in the rotation along with at least average performances by the rest of the staff then the offense should be able to make up the difference. But honestly, if Tillman and Gonzalez continue their performance from last season and no one else steps up big time then it's another .500 type of season.

Our biggest offseason loss is Chen and I think Gallard's acquisition offsets that to some extent.

Trumbo is a huge improvement over Young/Paredes.

Kim HAS to be better than our every day left field carousel, and if not Reimold or Alvarez every day is at least a wash. Id like to see Rickard do something too.

Fowler is an upgrade over Parra and the hole that was there before prior to getting him.

And I still believe Matt Wieters is a huge offensive upgrade over Joseph, though I thoroughly enjoy Joseph.

These two players leave us with no holes and only room to improve certain areas. I would still have concerns that a team with 5 #3 pitchers cannot be successful. Pray for the best, we can only hope for optimal outcomes.

If they pitch like five no. 3 starters, they'll be very successful. The worries are that they'll pitch like two no. 3's and then three no. 4-5's.

This team will compete if they get average starting pitching. The rest of this team is good enough.

This is probably a top 2 or 3 defense in the league.

This is probably a ~5 offense, w Fowler.

This is probably a top 3 bullpen.

Average starting pitching is all they need.
