The Rat Pack was the busiest team during the offseason completing two mega-deals and completely revamping their keeper list. The Pack is already a division favorite among some pundits. Their pitching staff is more or less complete (10 already on the roster!) and the lineup only lacks a shortstop and a first baseman. And that includes two "project" players, Rich Harden and Alex Gordon. The Rats may very well be done drafting after round five!
Shaky Keeper: Brett Myers, pitcher. Every player on the Rat Pack roster has either immediate impact or has some kind of longterm upside. Myers falls more into the latter category than the first, though his numbers aren't horrendous. For this year, Myers would be a horrible keeper choice, but he does have the upside of being a decent pitcher if he makes a successful return to the rotation.
Surprise Castoff: The Rats were able to successfully deal away almost every player that had any value, so there wasn't much to cast off when all was said and done. The best player left off has to be Kevin Gregg, who had pretty decent numbers while closing last year. Without the upside for the future, it is easy to understand why he was left off the final roster though.
