Ok the sexton move kinda boggles the mind, they needed a first baseman that can hit, but a powere hitter? at Safeco? the biggest yard on the left? That yard was meant for pitching,and slaping the ball around like the ninja does and Edgar did. Both him and Beltre will have to adapt their games a lot to be successful there.
And yes the pitching is the question. they need a solid 16 game winner or better,to complement their aging vets and young talent like Meche and Piniero. A power arm i think would round them out best
