One BIG problem they have is Crawford and the BIG DOLLAR $$$$ multi-year deal they signed him to! He is not going to put up the numbers they hope he will! They have a habit of signing players off their "career" year for multi-year contracts (Can you say JD Drew?....thank GAWD that contract is almost up!!!
) was it 16 mil a season for 7 seasons they signed Drew for??? And he did ZERO!!! He has been an albatross around their neck and un-tradeable! So now they have JD "WHO?" and Crawford dragging down the offense!!
They're looking much better the last week and a half or so. Won 6 out of the last 7 and the starting pitching has been excellent during that stretch. They still need Crawford and Youk to start hitting and the middle relief has to step it up, but they are pitching and hitting much better now.
