Still like Phillips at second and think someone else should play third (not likely!). I still like Cueto in the pitching lineup. He didn't pitch badly, just no run support.Originally Posted by Oxblood
I know they are grooming Chapman to start, but is that really a good idea? Did he start when he played in Cuba?
Chapman has always been a SP until mid season.
Good to know. Thanks!
Forgot about Alonso, if we can find a spot for him that would be great as well.
Can't see him being anything but trade bait.
Alonso is not ready for next season and can not play any position besides 1st base, he is nothing but trade bait
I think Jocketty has to look at the LF situation. The free agency pool is pretty limited to Crawford and Werth, with some fringe guys like Podsednik and Coco Crisp, and some guys who have no business playing defense in the National league like Ordonez, Damon, and Guerrero. Can we deal with Gomes or Heisey in left field next season and sit through their massive slumps and miserable (Gomes) and spotty (Heisey) defense? My lineup looks like this as it stands now:
CF Stubbs
2B Phillips
RF Bruce
1B Votto
3B Rolen
LF Who knows, but I'll go with Balentien
C Hanigan
SS Janish
Left field is the wild card. I'd love to have Coco Crisp if the A's don't pick up his option
no cueto or volquez in the rotation? find that hard to believe. volquez got the ball game 1, cueto game 3. how are they suddenly not in the rotation? especially with a volquez coming back from TJ and time to work the kinks out some more
what did you do with volquez, cueto, phillips? If you want them traded who do you want in return?

Cueto and Volquez must be there, Philips will too. LF needs upgraded.
This original post makes little sense to me.
We only live in patches. - H. G. Wells
Definitely Trade Volquez, let's see if we can get Hamilton.
Yeah , not sure why you left Cueto and Volquez both off the rotation? Explain please.
Also , Phillips..I wouldn't mind Valaika there after seeing what he's capable of. Love some Brandon Phillips but he is expendable.
Deal Cordero with prospects to whoever.
Deal Volquez or Cueto with Mesoraco/Frazier/Duran/Whatever to KC for Greinke
Trade prospects to Arizona for Stephen Drew
Sign Crawford.

Let the bench work itself out from leftover prospects and veterans signed for ST.
That's a good team.
This is more of what I would like to see, not what it will actually look like. I think the lineup I posted would serve us best to make another appearance in the playoffs next season.
Cueto's stock is sky-high at this point, move him, don't trust him. Let Edinson start the season in the rotation and hope he does good enough to raise stock, move him, don't trust him. Can't win with 'em.... wait. I'm samurai mike and I stop 'em cold...
