The Cutters surprised everyone by making the playoffs last year. Will they do it again? If you take a look at the Cutters roster, you start to get impressed - "wow, Hanley Ramirez, Miguel Cabrera, Hunter Pence, Scott Kazmir!" But it soon gets bad. This is a team that hangs on a great draft. With just an okay rotation, the Cutters will need to find a great starter. The lineup will have plenty of holes to fill as well.Shaky Keeper: Mike Napoli, catcher. If you look behind the numbers, Napoli isn't too bad - .351 OBP, .443 SLG, solid numbers against lefties. But it's hard to get past that .247 average. Jarrod Washburn is a close second (maybe even a tie).
Surprise Castoff: Not that much too surprising left off the Cutters' keeper list. We'll go with longtime fan favorite Geoff Jenkins. Jenkins has been with the Cutters for four years, but GM/owner Mark Hrywna decided it was time to cut ties and give the youngsters a chance.
