This is allright, I like our position prospects, and we have some real pitching prospects as far as I can see. The outlook in our future is bright. Hopefully Wayne does some good utilizing our prospects and we don't trade them all away.

Cody Strait and Paul Janish should make this team. How far have Mark Schmarek and B.J. Symenski (sp) have fallen. I still hold out hope for both.

As for the pitching.

Sam Leclure, James Avery, Phil Dumatrait should get some love.

How exactly do you see Travis Webb and Jordan Smith on the team?

Janish over Valaika?

[mth123]

Aaron Herr as the choice at 3B makes me thankful that Edwin is young. I guess I put Milton Loo there. I like Valaika over Janisch. Superdude seems to have the right 5 starters. We should just play w/o a catcher.

Wouldn't mind more discussion of the relievers. Don't know much about the upside of these guys. Got some info on Pelland in another thread and thought Coutlangus was pretty good.

Cody Strait and Paul Janish should make this team. How far have Mark Schmarek and B.J. Symenski (sp) have fallen. I still hold out hope for both.

Schmarek is basically done. He's never hit, and considering he was "the most polished hitter in the draft" according to Jimbo, that's pretty bad.

Syzmanski has a better chance, but that's not saying much.

1B Joey Votto
2B Brendan Harris
SS Chris Valaika
3B Milton Loo
OF Chris Dickerson
CF Drew Stubbs
OF Jay Bruce
C Miguel Perez (by default)

RHP Homer Bailey
RHP Johnny Cueto
LHP Travis Wood
RHP Sam Lecure
LHP Jamie Arneson

I gave Arneson the nod over Carlos Fisher due to age. I know Arneson is only at Billings, however: he's a 6'5 lefty with a fastball in the low 90's and has strong periphals.

RHP Calvin Medlock
RHP David Shafer
RHP Brad Salmon
LHP Jon Coutlangus
RHP Carlos Guevara
RHP Derrik Lutz
RHP Sean Watson
LHP Tyler Pelland

2B - Brendan Harris

3B - Milton Loo

OF - Chris Denorfia (he's has not played 50 games yet for the Reds -but when he does I will replace him with Danny Dorn)

SP - Homer Bailey
SP - Travis Wood

SP - Tyler Pelland (I still hold out hope he can command a curveball and become a ML starter)
SP - Sam LeCure

RP - Sean Watson
RP - Rafael Gonzalez
RP - Jamie Arneson
RP - Derrick Lutz
RP - David Shafer (Terrell Young just misses the cut - he has tremendous stuff if he ever learns to control it - he will sail through the system quickly 22 IP, 11hits, 29 Ks and 19 at Billings )
