I really like our 2013 team. Excited about everything we have returning if they stay healthy.
Absolutely! If Beltran can keep his renaissance going and Carpenter can have a strong, healthy off season, they'll be great complements to the younger players. Mix in Holliday and Berkman (hopefully) for leadership and some run support, and there's no reason to think there won't be a sustained run. Freeze, Kozma, etc., are looking like a core with promise.
Yadi is the one piece that will be nearly impossible to replace, mostly because of his character.
It might have been my favorite moment of the season was when, after an 18 minute deluge of trash on the field from the ridiculous fans in Atlanta, he stood up and held the game for a few minutes so Chipper could get his due respect before what turned out to be his final major league at bat. Keeping it classy, Yadi.
