The Hitmen made arguably the biggest offseason trade, dealing superstar Alex Rodriguez to the Arkansas Falcons. The Hitmen, with offense to spare, solidified their rotation with the acquisition of Dan Haren, giving them one of the top rotations entering the 2008 draft. With lots of extra talent, the Hitmen were very busy in the offseason, but also have one of the better protected lists in the league.Shaky Keeper: Tough to make this call, but we'll go with Billy Butler. Butler spent all of 2007 in Hillsborough's minor league system, but is ready to make the leap to the DMBL in 2008. Butler just barely qualifies at first base and may spend a lot of time in the DH slot. His numbers are decent so he's not all that shaky, but the rest of this roster is pretty solid.
Surprise Castoff: We're going to go with Josh Willingham. Willingham failed to impress the Hitmen after a decent 2007 season (.252/.366/.580) in limited playing time, so he was cut loose. He's still young enough (28) that several teams will be more than happy to give him a shot.
