Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 3710424, member: 1414"] I suppose that is presumptively true, but I don't think we really know. Haven't seen the team play with Cole, without Vital, with slimmer Josh, beefier Gaff and Bouk, there has been a pretty major transformation of the roster. Even a 20 pounds lighter Sanogo changes things significantly. I think people are sleeping on the new, stronger Akok. If he is back, stronger and better than before in the spring, this team is potentially crazy dangerous. In essence, we have fallen short of expectations consistently, and have been riddled with injuries for 4-5 years now. So I think there is an abundance of caution being applied to this squad by the analysts. These predictions are pretty much the floor for this team. I consider 5th place the worst we can finish if a lot goes wrong. [/QUOTE]
