Dickerson/Hairston CF
Martin C
Votto 1B
???
Bruce RF
EE 3B
BP 2B
Gonzo SS
That makes us a pretty solid lineup with power all around, discipline in more spots than not and no real slowpokes either. But I just can't see them trading Martin and if they do people will be out in force with top prospects for a top of the line catcher. I guess I might as well forget this pipe dream.

Respect bats 3rd
I'm not sure The Dusty respects our Canadian... or for that matter, if our Canadian has earned the 3rd spot, yet.
