Crouse, Winn and Seise

What other miscellaneous thoughts do you have about what you are expecting this season?

If Trevino gets hurt for any extended length of time, he may never get his starting job back once Huff comes back up.
I think Taveras goes down to the minors by June and DeShields becomes our backup CF.
I think if Jung proves he needs to be brought up here this year, then either Lowe or Guzman will be traded at the deadline.
If I knew Kyle Cody was going to be in the rotation for most of the year then I would say he would be our team Rookie of the Year.
I am afraid at least one of our piggyback rotation guys will have significant arm problems before this time next year.

Which player will be the most disappointing surprise this season?

I thought about saying Lowe as well

 

[Senator_fan]

Team will struggle to win 70 games this year.

How far away do you think it will be until a 2010/11 quality team can take the field?

 

[scotsman1948]

65 - 87.

but record isn’t important.

and it will be a learning experience for most of the players so don’t expect to be disappointed in what they do

The offensive part will most likely never be matched. I do think we can exceed the talent level of the pitching staff for those teams though.
