ANALYSIS

Felt is like the new chef in a restaurant seeking a new menu and more customers.  Felt has some great ingredients to make up a great menu.  It must be nice to trout out Juan Soto for the next 20 years with Christian Walker watching his back.  Lodolo and Freeland have alot of potential while Kelly and Jon Gray were surprise over performers.  

Felt is a definite wildcard when attempting to chart the team's future.  Numbers say the Oil Barons finish 2nd in the AL East.
