Lots of changes in Nashville this winter, they trade one of the best hitter in both leagues, Danny Brunette, in order to improve their rotation.
They gave a lot? But, they hope they get a lot in return too.
Let's take a look.
Brunette, Ray Randolph, Steve Withem, Sal Saunders, Glenn Sisler and Taylor Black are all gone.
But Coco Casey, Benji Reyes, Robert Knight, Marino Berroa and Bonk Lieber are coming.
Of course, Brunette, a 2 times All-Star, a 1 time MVP and in the top 5 in hits, runs and RBI's, will be hard to replace but the Sounds GM, thinks that Christopher Goldberg, Adam Huff, Dernell Carpenter and Cy Crawford should lead the offence, with help coming from rookie power hitting catcher Tim Barnes and newly acquire Reyes and Berroa.
The rotation should be much better with the acquisition of Casey and Knight who will join Ron Moran in one of the best top three SP in both leagues.
The Sounds also lost Bartolo Ortega to free agency, but they hope Lieber will be able to replace him effectively.
After 4 seasons finishing second to Memphis in the AL South, the Sounds hope this year they will finish first and that they will play late in the playoffs.
