The rotation would be awful. But I wouldn't mind the lineup. I also wantto point out that there is no way I'd have Howie Kendrick on a bench anywhere. That guy is going to win batting titles.

 

As far as my lineup I can't throw out predictions yet...gotta see what happens with Buehrle.

Well, if I were GM :P :

 

Starting Pitchers:

 

Buehrle (because Kenny finally got drunk enough to give him a NTC), Zambrano (because he's a Sox fan), Garland, Vazquez (because the Sox gave him a diminished skills clause similiar to Frank Thomas'), Danks

 

Relief Pitchers:

 

Linebrink, Jenks, Aardsma (because his name makes him sound like a pirate), Masset, Floyd, MacFrougal

 

Konerko, Iguchi, Uribe, Fields, AJ, Pods, Rowand, Ichiro, Thomas!

 

Man, that'd be a smoking hot team. Minus the crappy bullpen.

:bang

batting order:

 

1st - Ichiro Suzuki - CF

2nd - Danny Richar - 2B

3rd - Jim Thome - DH

4th - Paul Konerko - 1b

5th - A.J - C

6th - Josh fields - 3b

7th - Ryan Sweeney - RF

8th - Juan Uribe - SS

9th - Lastings Milledge - LF

 

bench - Erstad, Ozuna, Hall, Andy Gon, Jerry Owens

 

 

Pitching - Buehrle, Vazquez, Danks, Floyd, Gio

 

bullpen - Jenks, Thorton, Mcdogual, Day, Logan, Linebrink

 

 

I figure Garland, Dye, Contreras, Mak-o-wak, Iguchi, Pods all being traded or let go. I figure most of the players we get back to not be ready yet.

OK, here is what I would do: take every AAA or scrub player right now and make them a full time starter. Take the remainder of our roster and trade it for prospects or other teams' scrub players who can fill in the holes. We're golden.

I'm just going to assume to worst. This way, there's no possibility for disappointment

 

Lineup:

 

LF - Fields

CF - Erstad

RF - Sweeney

3B - Crede

SS - Uribe

2B - Richar

1B - Konerko

DH - Thome

C - Pierzynski

 

Starters:

 

Contreras

Vazquez

Garland

Danks

Floyd

 

Bench:

 

Ozuna, Terrero, A. Gonzalez, Hall and some small, lefthanded (preferably veteran) Latino MIF with no bat. Whether he exists in the majors or not, we'll trade for someone fitting this discription in the minors.

 

Bullpen:

 

MacDougal, Thornton, Jenks, Boonito, Aardsma, Sisco

If Ichiro is ever on this team I will shed tears of joy. I doubt it happens, but it would be great.

 

That should be KW's 1st priority in the offseason: Sign Ichiro! But then again, I'm sure they'll cheap out and sign back his exalted grindness, Darin Erstad for another yr of playing for a month and getting hurt the other 5 :crying

Or A-Rod opts out and Bora$$ uses KW's lustfulness again to drive up his price on Anaheim as KW misses out on Ichiro and signs whatever overrated pitcher is left in FA after Buehrle signs with the Mets.

 

Oh God, I hope I'm wrong :lol:

Starting from the top with a competent manager, Tom Kelly.

 

Brian Anderson would be starting in center. Sweeney would get a look in LF.

 

Crede'd be gone with Fields taking over.

 

Contreras and Dye would be gone for sure.

 

Erstad, Podsednik, Terrero, Cintron and Gonzalez would all be gone too.
