With the current ownership mess (nicest word I could think of), I expected nothing, really. Now, they have to look for a catcher and a power-hitting left fielder or third baseman.

As for Uribe, I have mixed feelings. I like the 24 hr's, but I think that number will dip in Chavez Ravine. I am not so thrilled with the .300 on base percentage. Still, an upgrade for sure.

What about Broxton? Can he come back from last year's meltdown?
