the Dusty-AntiClog era begins. With a somewhat improved (or so it appears) Starting rotation, an improved bullpen, a decent but not great defensive infield, an out field that has defensive flaws, a bench that is not  that improved with Bako and Casto) and an offense with out Josh Hamilton. Of course this will change, hopefully to include Ross, Bruce, Gonzo, Belizzle, Bray and maybe someday Homer before too long BUT given what we have how many game will this team win in'08 and where will they end up in the standings?

my guess is 84 wins, 2nd place. With a strong look to 2009.
