2012 Opening Day Lineup

[calsnowskier]

Agreed on the OF -- they'll likely pick up a veteran FA on a short deal. Man Reyes makes a lot of sense, but not at the money he'll command.

As does Beltran, but with the same negs.

Less about the money, more about how many years he'll want, with an injury history to boot.

Same problem with Cain and especially Lincecum...I'm sure we'd be ok signing them for big $ each year, but will we be willing to sign them for 5-7 years like other teams will?

+ additional neg of being a lot older

and - additional pos of not being a leadoff hitter

1.) Coco Crisp - CF
2.) Freddy Sanchez - 2B
3.) Pablo Sandoval - 3B
4.) Buster Posey - C
5.) Aubrey Huff - 1B
6.) Nate Schierholtz - RF
7.) Brandon Belt - LF
8.) Brandon Crawford - SS
9.) Tim Lincecum - P

Here's my guess. Hopefully Aubrey has a bounce back year in 2012.

Contract year and even year. He should have a good year next year. Maybe not #8 in the MVP voting good, but good.

This.

Belt and Nate maybe switch spots. Also, 3 lefties in a row 5,6,7 but not sure how to fix. Huff batting 4th?

Yup. +1.

 

[mistgl]

As I was posting this, I thought he had signed an extension, but BR has him down as a FA this year.

Stupid BR....no other SS out there that I'd wa nt (Reyes is too expensive)

Scutaro and Alex Gonzales are the only two that would be considered above replacement level.

Crawford's ++ glove and still developing bat would be fine on this team next year in the 8th spot, if we can stay healthy. See filo's lineup. Adding Coco seems like a really good idea too.

 

[mistgl]

I'm hoping RoRo has a good contract year too!

The only year he has ever amounted to much was his contract year with the Phillies!

Do we want to sign someone to block Brown from the bigs?I say if Brown isnt ready to roam the pasture in CF Rowand back his Starting job for the final year of that terrible contract and bring up Brown as soon as he is ready

Exactly what I had been thinking. I'm expecting they'll look around for a SS, but I'm not expecting they'll find much. I don't see Keppinger getting a serious look as a SS beyond emergency spot duty.

I looked at AG, he may be above replacement, but he's barely average. I'd rather go with Crawford.

Dude is meh with a bat, but he's probably more in line with what Crawfords ceiling is.

GG D, sketchy bat, and decent pop. Only thing Crawford has on him is the ability to take a walk.

And the fact that Stamos would cost almost nothing while AG would cost AT LEAST 3 or 4 M.

I'm not against Crawford at all.

If he can pull off Agon numbers, then SS should be his.

Question, since he already has the 150 ABs to remove his prospect label, does that mean he can't play in the fall league?

Lol, no.

I'm not anyone in hiding. I just knew being cryptic like that would fuck with him.
