wow,

that team is going to be tough to face.

Nope. I need a lot of guys to work out, don't have much room for error right now, and those four starters all have injury concerns. The good thing is that most everyone but McCutchen will spend most of the year in the majors (don't know about Lester's season either I guess), which is a first for me obviously. But a few disappointments will mean a lot more work in front of me.

That's all part of the fun of working with prospects. Each one is like an unwrapped present of sorts. You have an idea what it might be, but you never know for sure until you open it up.
