Not to challenge you in any way, but I'd like to hear you elaborate on that as to why you're so excited. It could lead to some good conversation here too.
mainly because, I have faith in Williams and his talent evaluation
2007 isn't happening again, this isn't a case of a massively injury-ridden team (at least not yet, crossing fingers)
as long as our team stays healthy, I feel we will contend for the division
edit: adding another, major, reason why I feel more excited this year. I feel this is the first time in a long while that the front office has taken a strong approach to eliminating the homerun - or - nothing offense that we've seen for so long
if these players can perform both offensively and defensively (Owens/BA, Getz/Lillibridge/Nix, Fields/Viciedo), it will bring a better all-around style to the team, rather than the age-old one-dimensional, slow prodding nucleus that we're tired of watching every year
