Last season we climbed out of last, lolDetroit, and this year another step or 3 needs to be taken.

Projected opening day lineup

1. CF Coco Crisp - hit .290 with 25 sb
2. LF David DeJesus - do your thing
3. 2B Mark Teahen - realize potential plz
4. RF Jose Guillen - don't be a ******
5. 1B Mike Jacobs - hit lots of HR, catch the ball
6. DH Billy Butler - emerge as the man
7. 3B Alex Gordon - emerge as the man
8. C Miguel Olivo - hit some plz
9. SS Mike Aviles - don't regress too much

Rotation
1 Gil Meche - pitch like an ace
2 this guy who needs to pwn everyone


3 Kyle Davies - realize potential
4 Sidney Ponson - i dunno
5 Horacio Ramirez - get it together or kill time until Hochevar/Bannister come back

Bench
Alberto Callaspo - play d and hit sometimes
Tony Pena - play d and hit over 200 plz
Willie Bloomquist - utility
Braylon Pena
John Buck - 3 catchers huh

Bullpen
some long relievers
Kyle Farnsworth - throw hard strikes
Ron Mahay - get lots of outs
Juan Cruz - strike out people in the 8th
Joakim Soria - end games ldo


There's a lot of uncertainty with this team. However, things are looking up as long as our infield defense doesn't ruin too many games. Obv Butler, Gordon, and Teahan hitting like men have a huge impact on how much we improve. Lets win 81+ and maybe steal the AL Central. Mike Moustakas and Eric Hosmer might show up in 2010?
