It’s a lifestyle

I do like Oscar de la Cruz a lot as a prospect, but this is pretty much a make or break year with all the injuries. The one thing I was always curious about is the quality that secondary stuff is against better, more advanced talent. Going to be interesting to see how this plays out - unlike Underwood, he could probably make a decent move to the pen if necessary.

 

As for Hudson, it's really a long game. He could end up just being a total bust, but I'm not ready to mark this as a make or break season for him. What he has to show is some level of solid consistency.
