Best tandem since Mariano and Wetteland. They need to address left field and 2nd base.

I'm more worried about getting at least one more established starter. Niese and Parnell in the 4th and 5th spots in the rotation would be a disaster. 2B they are screwed at with Castillo. As overpaid as he is, he still managed a .355 OBP last year so he isn't a total disaster (like Kaz was). They can probably get by with him and Dan Murphy playing 2nd this year. Would love to see them do something in LF but if they have to go into the year with Beltran, Tatis, and Church in the OF then so be it. The payroll is around $111 million right now so they have another $30 million or so to spend. No real reason they can't get a good pitcher, a fill in veteran pitcher, and another bat in the outfield (even if it is just a righthanded hitter off the bench).
