The Sugar Bears had a historic year in 2007, but can they repeat (yet again that is)? The short answer is, sure they can, why not? All the pieces are still there and, if anything, the rotation is stronger than it was last year. One point to make is that key offensive component Nick Johnson will miss the entire season after eating a bad box of cereal.Shaky Keeper: Nick Johnson. Well, he's going to miss all of the season and there's not much else to pick no here. Johnson has been very injury-prone during his career, but that hasn't stopped him from winning a Mitchell Award. Known for his extreme player loyalty, it's not surprising in the least for GM/Owner Butch Garretson to retain Johnson's services.
Surprise Castoff: Nothing all too surprising. Scot Shields has been with the team for three seasons, so there was a chance that cutting the "other Shields" may have been a tad painful for Garretson, but as he said in a statement earlier "one Shields is better than none."
