Looks like they're trying to capitalize on the potential of Miller while they're crowded at shortstop. Ketel Marte had a reasonably good rookie showing and Chris Taylor may get a second (or third) shot. Farquahar is a nice piece too. LoMo needs to find his stick but he showed some flashes.
Arms, arms...the M's started '14 boasting more starters than they had room for and ended up hurting in relief. Rodney finally imploded mid-season, which didn't help. And Felix, God bless him, is still King but can't keep it up forever.
The fans - I'm one of them - keep waiting for the M's to gel but even with Cano and Cruz and Seager they just haven't been able to put it all together at one time. Known weaknesses of the team: offense, defense, starting and relief pitching, and baserunning. Known strengths: great selection of beer at Safeco. I am not bitter.
Farquahar will deepen their bullpen.
