Sandy...you might be right about the offense not being "unlucky" last year...there might have been a problem with line-up balance that prevented the Mariners from scoring as many runs as their linear weight RC or their OPS would suggest. However, I still factor those 50 runs into my offensive projection, because the character and composition of the line-up has shifted in such a way that there probably won't be a horrible black hole anywhere offensively except SS and it's unlikely that the Ms will have anyone batting 4th who does as poorly as their clean-up spot did collectively last year. So they're not just gaining in LWRC by adding players...they're gaining that much plus the 50 runs they're likely to get back by having a more balanced, patient offense this year.
