Who on the team you support needs to step up this season?

[packerzrule]

Aside from the fucking juice box Braun, Kris Davis needs to prove that he can hit at least .280

 

[obxyankeefan]

Let's see with the Yankees it might be easier just to talk about Chase Headley. Other then him the whole team has something they need to improve on from last year.


Another 83-79 season for us.

 

[Voltaire26]

Justin Verlander. Was last year the start of a decline or a bump in the road? With Price, Verlander and Sanchez they can produce a formidable starting line up.

clay buchholtz and dusty pedroia

If Bum doesn't show up, then let's get the 2015 off season started.

 

[broncosmitty]

We have shitdicks at the 4 and 5 spot in the rotation. And a collection of shitdicks in the bullpen. That ain't good.

Bully sucked with Price, Scherzer, JV, sometimes Sanchez and Ricky P last year. We're gonna see more of 'em this year. That's scary.

 

[Arizona_Sting]

It's this thing, kinda forgot what it's like to have one… called a "rotation".


Idk. If we had even half of one we could be playoff bound with how talented our offense could be this year… at least we have some promising pitching prospects coming up the next few years.

 

[moxie]

Coming off a couple of surgeries, I think Matt Cain needs to show that he can still compete with Bumgarner.

 

[dredinis21]

I would say that Pagan has to show he has come back from back surgery and Baby Giraffe has to play an entire season without injury.

 

[Erie Warrior]

Jason Kipnis, signed a big extension, then went on to bat .240 6HRs 41 RBIs in 129 games. That is garbage.

Also, Michael Bourn needs to have a healthy season.

 

[Pappy]

Pedro Alvarez. Without his productive bat in the lineup every day we are short on power. He needs to rebound not so much on average but on run production with home runs and RBI. Other than that we could make some noise. And like all teams, we need to avoid injuries to critical players.

 

[Nasty_Magician]

I'll say Curtis Granderson. If he can get back to 20+ home runs it will be huge for this lineup. I trust Wright and Cuddyer will do their thing, Duda should hopefully continue doing what he's doing but Granderson can be better. If this guy can be a legitimate middle of the order bat it will help everyone out.

 

[Hunter Montana]

Someone on offense besides Freddie Freeman. I don't think he could carry this offense all by himself.

I'll also go with Mike Minor (needs to rebound after last season) and Shelby Miller. The Braves need a solid 1-4 rotation if they have any hopes of at least getting one of the Wild Card spots.

 

[TDs3nOut]

Coming off a couple of surgeries, I think Matt Cain needs to show that he can still compete with Bumgarner.

Yeah, that would really be big for your team. And, no, I don't see that happening.

 

[Chewbaccer]

I've given up on Melvin Upton Jr, but maybe he won't be a distraction when he's on the bench.

Chris Johnson and Mike Minor need to be a lot closer to the 2013 versions of themselves than the 2014 versions of themselves.

Nick Markakis has to be productive and Jonny Gomes and Aj Pierzynski/John Buck(whichever wins the backup catcher role) need to be veteran leaders.

 

[TKOSpikes]

Votto and Bruce

 

[Rex Racer]

Red Sox look to have a line up that can bang out 850+ runs without even trying so I would put the onus on the entire pitching staff. Every last freakin one of them.
