| I don't see how this team's starting pitching holds up for 162 games, but they can hit and the bullpen might actually surprise. (Parker looks like a find and Bedrosian is the real deal.) |

| Good start but you can't really read too much so early in the season. Baseball is pretty unpredictable compared to something like the NBA so anything can happen. |

They made the right moves in surrounding Trout offensively. But their starting pitching is abysmal. Richards is never healthy anymore. Two of their starters have 7+ ERA in Shoemaker and Skaggs, two guys they are relying heavily on. The rest is a potpourri of cheap cast-offs (ironically mostly Dodger castoffs). Basically their formula is pray the starters don't completely (bleep) the bed and only leave a few lamb droppings that the offense will have to be relied on to clean up.
