Sleeper team in the NL, without a doubt.
I've been looking them over... and they are changing my initial opinion of them.

Sleeper or asleep? Always nice to throw out a bad team on paper and predict great things, but here's what they have:
Prado-3b
Hill-2b
Kubel-LF
Ross-RF
Montero-C
Goldschmidt-1B
Eaton/Parra-CF
Pennington/Bloomquist/Gregorious-SS
That is a lineup that will struggle to score runs, very thin in power and even worse speed.
Rotation: Kennedy, McCarthy, Cahill, Miley, and ?????? Hudson coming off TJ surgery, McCarthy coming off a line drive to the head, so who knows how he'll react.
Bullpen: Putz, Hernandez, Bell and worse from there
They are gonna be in a dogfight with Colorado for the basement. A clear rebuild. Maybe they'll be the April surprise and get eveyone excited. Gotta have one of them every year.
