After doing jack shit in the offseason - this is what we got..
Projected Lineup:
1. SS O. Cabrera 2. CF E. Chavez 3. 1B B. Wilkerson 4. RF V. Guerrero 5. 2B J. Vidro 6. 1B W. Cordero 7. 3B M. Barrett 8. C B. Schneider
A good young core featuring Cabrera & Guerrero & Vidro & Wilkerson.
If we want to compete for real we probably need to add something.
But for a $38M payroll team... it could certainly look worse.
Projected Rotation:
1. J. Vazquez 2. T. Armas Jr. 3. L. Hernandez 4. T. Ohka 5. Z. Day
Two solid young starters at the top of the rotation and decent depth rounding it out.
Certainly won't lead the league in runs allowed but it should be good enough.
Projected Bullpen:
Mopup: B. Reames
Middle Relievers L. Ayala D. Smith T. Tucker
Setup: S. Stewart J. Eischen
Closer: R. Biddle
An obvious weak spot...
Two relievers who can shut down a game and a decent closer...
But we lack any real depth and I'm sure the other four relievers will blow enough games to kill our chances...
Projection: Dead last in the division.
We feel that trying to match payroll and compete with the other teams is counter productive at this point. We do not want to trade our young core already which has severely limited our trade options. We figure that we will let every other team blow their load on old expensive players to compete this season... while we hang back and let our young players develop... then acquire some folk in the offseason and come in the backdoor.
Subject to change.[/size]
