The starting 8?

1B - Hatteberg (for awhile and Votto will win a starting job)
2B - Phillips
SS - Gonzalez
3B - Encarnacion
LF - Dunn
CF - Freel
RF - Griffey
C - Ross

Bench:

Hopper
Valentin
Votto
Keppinger
Bruce
Castro

Rotation:

Harang
Arroyo
Beslile
Fogg
Volquez

Bullpen:

Cordero
Weathers
Affeldt
Burton
Majewski
Stanton

I fully expect to see Maloney, Cueto, and Bailey sent to the minors regardless of performance and I also fully expect Coffey to be released or traded. Castro, one of Wayne's favorites will make the team as will Stanton. You can't beat that veteran presence, can you?

Bray will be lost for the season or at least until the All-Star break, and Majewski will stink up the bullpen so much, he'll be gone by the end of May. Easy predictions, IMHO.
