The Rhinos had a nice little run in the mid '60s, but it looks as though 1967 will be a step down.
The good, the bad and the ugly...
The Good:
1. Tony Perez takes a step forward this year and should join Harmon Killebrew to form a formidable 1-2 punch in the middle of the order.
2. Joe Horlen should be one of the best pitchers in the league.
The Bad:
1. Both corner OFs are pretty weak. On the bright side, they're both basically toast after this year, so next year's OF will be different, if not necessarily better.
2. The catching situation is truly awful. I have one who was good in the past (Elston Howard) and one who will be good in the future (Jerry Grote), but this year it will be like having two pitchers in the batting order.
The Ugly:
1. I have only two pitchers who worked more than 150 innings, so after Horlen and Cuellar the rotation will be in somewhat of a state of flux.
2. For some reason, I feel like I drafted poorly this season. I think if I drafted more for 1967 and less for future value, I might have made the playoffs again this year, but as it stands, I see this as a .500 team at best.
