Thanks for the heads up, there were too many new players to remember. :bang

Catchers

AJ P- Starter for 4/5 of our Pitchers

ben Davis- Personal Caytcher for Freddy Garcia

 

1B

Pauly - Playing 1b for about 145-150 games this year

 

2b

Willie Harris- his job to lose, he will be the main compenet if we can win or lose

 

SS

Uribe- Lets just hope when he has his cold streaks, someone else can p/u the slack

 

RF

Dye-This could be great if healthy or could be another bad signing by KW.. only tim ewill tell

 

CF

Rowand- Going to have another great season, also depends where in the line-up we stick him

 

LF

SPod- With walker, Raines he will come back to form, and have a great year. Should agai lead the league in SB

 

1SP

Freddy Garcia- if 100% healthy should win 18-20 games with an ERA about 4.50

 

2SP

Marky B- Should again win about 15-17 an er under 4 again

 

3SP

O Hernandez- I see him going down sometime during the season, maybe win 12-14.. 15-18 if healthy

 

4SP

Jon Garland- I think this year with less pressure, he can win 14, and lower his ERA.

 

5SP

Jose C. - I put him here for the reason, during the begining of the season we can start him in the pen, something he has excelled at during his brief MLB career. should have a decent season

 

 

Bullpen

Shingo- I think by all-star break he will be figured out and lose his job, I think KW knows that hnese the reason of hermanson or Marte might get a shot as well

 

Hermanson- Talk to giants fans and you might think this is a bad idea when we signed him. but it might also be a good signing

 

Marte- this might be the year, that he assume the closer role and succeeds with it.

 

Cliff p- ?? How the arm

 

Luis V- I hope this doesn't have a fall back year.. looking at his numbers 1 good 1 bad... He had a good year least year.

 

Cotts/Diaz..long RP.. building on the furture, going to struggle but over time this will be a good move, by July August time we should see what we got on Diaz. There is no reason to put Diaz back to triple a.

 

 

Bench

Gload- playing 20-25 games, decent season.. might be the 2006 starting 1b if has a good season

 

Perez- should play abot every 5-6th day. decent glove/bat off the bench, I would have him as a late defense replacement.

 

 

that is it for now.

I'm holding off till Fest, because by then the Sox will have made their final move.

Which is next weekend right? So we should have 1 more move this week.

I think KW will anounce another signing at Soxfest and maybe that is Iguchi.

I'll go for my lineup...

 

LF- Posednik

CF- Rowand

RF- Dye

1B- Konerko

DH- Everett

SS- Uribe

C- AJ

3B-Crede

2B- Iguchi (The more I hear about us being the only offer on the table the more I think we will get him. No way should he start in the 2 hole until he can prove he can handle it)

 

Bench:

1B/OF- Gload

OF- Perez

C- Davis

IF- Valdez

C/CIF/COF- Burke (I have a feeling we will be seeing him come back)

 

Rotation:

1- Buherle

2- Garcia

3- Hernandez (he should be the number 3 starter in name only, Ozzie would be a fool not to give him as many days off as possible)

4- Contreas

5- Garland

 

Bullpen:

Cl- Shingo

Su- Marte

Su- Herminson

MR- Politte

MR- Vizcaino

LR- Cotts
