The Animals were busy in the offseason making trades, trying to take the next step after winning their first division title in 2007. The offense, featuring Albert Pujols, Magglio Ordonez and Jorge Posada, looks to be strong, and the pitching staff, anchored by Johan Santana, is very young, but should be capable.Shaky Keeper: Scott Rolen, third baseman. Rolen, a favorite of GM/Owner Anthony Pucci, seems to be on the downside of his career, putting up subpar numbers last year and could be a weak link in the otherwise strong lineup.
Surprise Castoff: Adam LaRoche, first baseman. With the acquisition of Mark Teixeira, there was simply no place left for LaRoche, so the Animals set him loose.
