There isn't a more talented group of young players in all of baseball. The Snakes will make the Dodgers a better team. I love and respect the "Big Unit" but don't expect much from Randy Johnson. There's a lot more arm trouble on the horizon. In my view, it was a bad decision to bring him back. Nevertheless, a wild card spot is possible if Lyons or someone else can fill the HUGE void left by Jose Valverde.

Justin Upton's 2008 projected stats -- started by padresroy
In his prime we very well could be looking at one of the three to four best players in baseball. This year I have tempered expectations. If he gets 550 ABs, I think 10 to 15 HRs with 15 to 20 SBs will be about right.
