Good news: They have a good pitching depth for the first time since I’ve been alive and they have a lot of productive pieces scattered around the diamond with some real studs like Lee, Julien, and Lewis waiting in the minor leagues/rehab. The central is an awful division that the twins were in control of until August of last year before the bucket load of injuries and rough Pagan pitching came to bite them. Also the Guards were unnaturally lucky and unnaturally healthy last year so regression from them is a huge possibility nobody wants to talk about.

Bad news: It’s a team that is based within the State of Minnesota. The most or second most cursed sports town in America depending on how high you rank San Diego. Injuries and Pagan caused us to lose the division last year and could happen again. The teams two MVP candidates and all that pitching depth I mentioned earlier are made of glass. It remains to be seen if Joey Gallo can not be a black hole in the line up and there is a distinct possibility of a Kepler, MA Taylor, Gallo outfield which would result in 0 offensive runs for large portions of the season.
