Was at the game tonight ... man that was some sparse attendance.

I think Zimmerman and Espy will pick it up, and when they get Morse back midseason, that could be a nice little boost (plus Storen).

I'm not as high on Harper coming up this year after seeing how he's struggling against AAA pitching. He may be a September callup only.

But yeah, ALL pitching -- starting and bullpen -- has been amazing. Rodriguez just baffled 'em tonight, and Zimmerman was on once again.
