Much like those two, Billy and Moustakas possess a deep reserve of talent. I'm sure the front office is salivating looking at all the potential on offense.  @jim fetterolf That’s a good point about Melky and Francoeur.

This year, in Moose's case, he probably had been hearing that he looked an awful lot like Billy and in Billy's case he probably realized that he would no longer be hitting ahead of Treanor, Aviles, and Getz, so would have to do a lot more running, like the second half of last year when he started looking a little gassed in September.  For both I expect some improvement in the field and from Billy I expect a break out year, 25-30 HRs and 110 RBIs batting behind Gordon, Gio, and Hoz and protected on-deck by the Moose. From pictures I've seen, both look good and have shown leadership by off-season work ethic. That's a good thing.
