I was very disappointed with the *lack* of beatings you took last year.

Blist, Schoon and Gardner were amazing last year when one factors in the park. If Jeff can get that same type of year from Blist and Schoon, the Pirates will be extremely tough. I'm not sure they can, but they will be very interesting to watch. Someone probably should pick off Gardner cheap (given his age) for BP help and emergency starting help. He could be like Emberling in the 1950 race - an old vet who has those 3-4 gem performances left in the holster at a key time when a starter has gone down to injury.
