Yeah I don't get it. They pretty much made no changes and were a slightly above average lineup. I mean it isn't bad, but it has tons of holes after the 5 hole.

Dodgers have a good lineup on paper, but once again only ranked 7th last year in the NL. So unless Kemp comes back strong and they find a place for all 4 OF's, I don't see them being a top 5 offense.

Orioles I can agree with and Texas I definitely agree with. Detroit and St. Louis should be in there, IMO too. The Tigers have the best hitter in baseball and the Cards have so much depth it is unreal. We only lost Beltran, but we also have Craig/Adams healthy and Tavaras coming up.

Boston should be in there as well. They don't have a sexy lineup, but they grind AB's and know how to get on base.
