This season the Cats wound up hitting 60 homers. Next year they would do well to hit half as many. However, this season they had 67 stolen bases, I believe next year they could top that by a pretty good margin.
With such players as K Barrett, M Carson, K Tom, S Wilson, J Shelby, C Heady, and some others, the Cats best option by far, is to play a lot of hit and run, and be very aggressive on the base paths.
They will hit some HR's of course, but their best offensive strategy is base hit, or walk, steal or sacrifice or both. They will be a pretty good gap power team IMO, but without A J , M Thomas, Cousey, Reida, and likely Kuhn, thats 47 of the 60 homers gone.
Just hope our pitching can improve a good bit, and give us a chance to put up some W's in 2015.
