The best news is probably the positive updates on Lee and Bedard. We really need those two if we're going to take this division. The Ms simply aren't a very good team 3 out of 5 games right now (the guys either than Felix and RRS). Felix-Lee-Bedard-RRS is a rotation that few teams are going to be able to deal with. 
Snell threw around 40% balls despite a wide strike zone today. I didn't see the game, but did anyone see if his landing foot was pointing towards the plate?
I'm against starting Kotchman against LHs or groundball RHs. Hes been sub-replacement level with those matchups. This is the biggest downside for me with rostering Sweeney.. Hopefully Sweeney is really rejuvenized because we need it.
I'm worried about 1B and DH (Griffey+Sweeney) offensively this season.. I'm a little annoyed with the decision to go with defense at 1B and chemistry at DH. I originally thought both Griffey and Kotchman would be bench players when they were acquired in the offseason. They are misplaced as starters IMO.
More than anything I hope Jack Wilson can rebound offensively.. We don't have the depth to cover for him.
Bradley should be fine once he tones his swing down.. Maybe Wak will consider moving him down the order to put some pressure off of him.
I'm a lot more concerned about Texas this season than Anaheim. The Angels' roster has the most downside in the division. Texas is loaded with talent.
