The Offense may need a more patient bat in the lineup but hope im also counting on Bourn Developing more this season, same with Travis Hanson and Jayson Nix. Defensively there could be a couple gold glovers on this squad in Molina, Berroa (NL SS last season), and Drew. Bourn and Dawson could be solid if Dawson moves to RF and Bourn to Center these 2 could be as well. The starting pitching is still young and I believe that Francis and Meyer will be a dangerous lefty duo in the future and could produce now. Vargas and Galaragga can also develop with more expierence. Moreno is keeping it warm for maybe another starter or he too might get moved to the pen. Dont be surprised if Gil Meche gets called up to occasionally spot start to keep the innings pitched down on Moreno. The Bullpen has the potential to be one of the best. With the 3rd overall pick in the draft, We are looking at either the top of the order Jesse Barefoot or RP Rob Dibble.

I would like some feedback on this (not trash talk from someone that will do it anyways)

I'd watch Javy .vs Righties in the 4 hole... probably more suited for the 5 or 6 hole there, and the 4 hole .vs lefties....

Updated. TJ Tucker could be a great replacement for Rincon.
