This team could probably do well in the NL. but im in the damn AL West.....

The Starting Lineup

2B- Luis Rivas, 28, 3.0 Star (2007: .300, 42 2B, 7 3B, 83 R, 71 RBIs, 24 SBs)
SS- Christian Guzman, 30, 2.0 Star (2007: .241, 89 R, 9 3B, 54 SBs)
LF- Carlos Lee, 31, 3.0 Star (2007: .244, 24 HR, 85 RBIs, 22 SB, 97 R)
1B- Dan Johnson, 28, 3.0 Star (2007: .250, 24 HR, 86 RBIs)
CA- Felix Carrasquillo, 21, 4.0 Spect (2007: .235, 11 HR, 51 RBIs)
RF- Brian Anderson, 26, 2.5 Star (2007: .286, 8 HR, 47 RBIs)
3B- Mark DeRosa, 33, 2.0 Star (2007: .226, 14 HR, 43 RBIs, 14 SBs)
CF- Joey Gathright, 25, 2.0 Spect (2007: .222, 15 R, 22 SBs in 49 Games)
DH- Carlos Mendez, 33, 2.0 Star (2007: .270, 3 HR, 34 RBIs in 74 Games)

The Skinny- This is going to be a long season for the Vultures on offense. While the speed will aloways be there in Gath, Rivas and Guzman and Lee and Derosa...and Anderson.....It wont mean jack if they all hit .240 and below. There is a huge need for another big bat in this lineup or a bat that has contact. Guzman is a dangerous defender as the reigning SS Gold Glover

The Bench
OF Tremel Sledge, 31, 2.5 Star (2007: .218, 13 SBs in 29 attempts)
OF Mark Kotsay, 32, 1.5 Star (2007: NO ABs in 2 Games)
MI Ceasar Crespo, 28, 2.0 Star (2007: DNP)

The Skinny- Its pretty bare right now. Bats are needed espically in the Infield. I dont expect this to really be a good year for the Vultures at all.

The Rotation
SP Dan Meyer, 26, 1.0 Star (2007: 8-12, 3.91, 153 Ks, 95 BB)
SP Clint Nageotte, 27, 1.0 Star (2007: 6-9, 4.02, 88 Ks, 67 BB)
SP J.D Durbin, 26, 2.5 Star (2007: 9-17, 4.46, 155 K, 67 BB, 4 CGs, 30 HR allowed)
SP Brian Bass, 26, 1.0 Star (2007: 3-8, 5.93 ERA, 54 BB, 51 K, 1.78 WHIP)
SP Joel Hanrahan, 26, 1.0 Star (2007: 2-6, 7.71 ERA, 2.08 WHIP)

The Skinny- This is a young rotation that will take its lumps. Potentially i would watch out for these 5 if they develop like they should. All of them have a combined total of 3 seasons with more than 30 Starts. Even then all eyes are on them.

The Bullpen
RH Cody Jones
RH Dewon Brazelton
RH Angel Guzman
RH Matt Anderson
RH Jeremy Hill
RH Juan DeLeon
LH Damaso Marte
LH Scott Stewart

The Skinny- Can the bullpen keep it up? Doubtful but the 7th, 8th and 9th should be pretty good.
