Atkins as it stands right now plays 1B and is an upgrade from the platoon they played at 1B late last season but a major downgrade from Aubrey Huff who they had to start last year. You nail the talking points on the pitching staff, but the key no one is talking about is that the bullpen has probably been improved a ton and that should help the overall pitching numbers out a lot.

The offense should be higher than a 6. They had a slightly above offense last year that shouldn't be much different this year.
Forgot about Tejada. Wrote the AL East part before he signed I think
