Bullpen overall has definitely been a nice surprise. When Sandlin returns it'll be even deeper. Tons of strikeout stuff in the pen and that's been a real problem in recent years.
Starting pitching is still up and down, depth isn't great right now.
Offense has been looking better, Vlad is still frustrating to watch even though he's hitting okay. If Springer can keep it going and if Kirk has suddenly remembered how to hit again it will be huge for this team. Barger is a key player suddenly. Toolsy. What's real and sustainable and what's not I don't know but his potential can really lengthen the lineup and boost the offense. Kid has big dick energy.
