it's a hell of a lot better than the pitching.
If Noot is healthy and Walker has developed a little more (to at least get back to the .800 OPS sort of hitter he appeared to be even as a rookie) then it's a pretty deep lineup.
Lineup depth will score you more runs that a couple big hitters in the middle. And it grinds pitchers up.
But our pitching is just ass. And it was always going to be. There was no upside in this rotation at all - it was obvious from day 1. At best you get slightly below average from this roster. In all probability, you won't get that.
