January 25, 201016 yr I think its more interesting to focus on players who are the biggest question marks - those who could be all over the board in terms of performance. How THEY do, is the key to the season. That list, for me, is: Rios Teahen Quentin (health, mostly) Jenks How those guys do, makes or breaks the season, in my mind. But the guy who's butt is most on the hot seat, especially if we do this absurd DH committee thing, is Ozzie.

To me, the guys who have the most questions are the ones I have the lowest expectations from. I expect much more from guys like Peavy, Buehrle, Thornton and the like than someone like Rios or TCQ.
January 25, 201016 yr Interesting question...and here is my answer: Buehrle, Danks, Peavy, Floyd, Garcia, Jenks, Linebrink, Pena, Thornton, AJ, Bacon, Kong, Kotsay, Ramirez, Teahen, Rios, Quentin, Jones, and Pierre. If they all perform to my high expectations, we will have a good year.
January 25, 201016 yr hopes and expectations are two very different things.... i have high expectations for Quentin...i really think he bounces back and has a huge year I have high hopes for Rios and Beckham....
January 25, 201016 yr Rios and Quentin, I expect Rios to bounce back with .280 25 HR 100 RBI 20 SB and I have a feeling Carlos will have a monster year.
January 25, 201016 yr hopes and expectations are two very different things.... Man that is very true. I have very high hopes, but very low expectations, for our lineup. I have high expections for Paulie, AJ, CQ and Lexi. I have high hopes but low expectations for Teahen.
January 26, 201016 yr QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jan 25, 2010 -> 12:09 AM) Your talking 100+ wins right there. I also expect Buehrle to throw a no-hitter every start. I am an extreme optimist.
January 26, 201016 yr I'm shocked so many people are saying Rios. I have absolutely no expectations for that guy...I hope he proves me wrong.
