Almost certainly, Taillon would drag it up a tick since he can hit 95-96 but he's gonna start the season hurt. If Horton manages to make it up this season as well he tops out at 98. I am glad between Merryweather and Little we're actually getting some velo in the pen at least.

Couldn't have put it much better myself. It's annoying that with such a bad division the Cubs didn't ball out and make themselves the clear favorites, but they should still take the thing on paper. The Cards and Brewers' rotations are utter dogshit out of their #1's, the Reds are hella injured to start the season, and the Pirates kinda need all of their young guys to play up at once. Feels like ~87 takes the division easy barring shenanigans.
