I'm concerned about the starting pitching situation. Dave Bush has not proven to be very consistent. I hope that Yo-Go's replacement (most likely Bush) or Jeff Weaver (AAA prospect) can STEP UP & be a consistent performer. Otherwise, I can't see the Crew contending this year. AND, if Sheets goes down - our (the Crew's) chances are basically nil!
Is this is the same Jeff Weaver who won a World Series with the Cards in 06 and pitched for Seattle last season? If so, I wouldn't label him a AAA prospect - more like a has-been who never actually was much with the exception of his outstanding postseason in 06.
