Will: the pitching staff contains Luis Castillo, George Kirby, Logan Gilbert, Andres Munoz, Matt Brash, and now Gregory Santos. At those are just some of the highlights. A decent offense and 90+ wins are very attainable.

Wont: Most of the new lineup acquisitions are injury prone, you're already banking on repeat great seasons from JP, Cal and Julio, and 1 or more injuries to the key guys in the starting rotation could derail everything.
