I realize that this team shouldn’t be expected to contend or finish at .500, but I am excited to see the young players grow and hopeful that health remains good. My question is why do most predictions I read have this team penciled in for 65 wins, I know last year was terrible but remember they were historically bad at the start which included a ton of injuries along with some money shed trades and late signings. With a little more stability on their current roster I’m seeing an improvement to possibly 75 wins, your thoughts?

I'd go under on 75 but don't think it's crazy. Feels like the realistic ceiling given the bullpen and back of the rotation though

If the season goes as expected and they are seemingly out of contention, who realistically would be traded?

Depends on performance obviously but each of Myers, Buck Farmer, Lucas Sims, Kevin Newman and Luke Weaver seems viable. Wouldn't get a huge return for any but they could all play their way into bringing back a mid-level prospect or two
One of the minor league signees could do the same as Drury did last year, although probably not to that extent. Tough to replicate a minor league pickup quite that good

Alright, that's all I have time for today
Thanks for all the questions, sorry if I couldn't get to yours. I'm on Twitter @affranco10 if you want to ask me anything else
