not bad, but I would prefer Uggla in LF and Sanchez at 2nd. It doesnt seem that Uggla wants to move, however. We have discussed Marlon Byrd, he does not seem like a good option.

this is probably one of the better rosterbation posts we’ve had but it’s still fairly ridiculous (freddy sanchez at SS?)

I MISS BASEBALLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!

/cries

Why does everyone want to give away the Giants pitching?

but it is all a null point considering faileria isn’t going anywhere

Nice lineup, but Sanchez cannot hit leadoff.

The Topps Major League Rookie All-Star team began in 1959. Over the last half century, an impressive 16 Hall of Famers were named to the squad as rookies. The list of past Topps Rookie-All Star selections who went on to be immortalized in Cooperstown includes Cal Ripken Jr., Tom Seaver, Rod Carew, Ozzie Smith, Willie McCovey, Johnny Bench, Gary Carter, Carlton Fisk, Paul Molitor, Joe Morgan, Eddie Murray, Tony Perez, Kirby Puckett, Jim Rice, Billy Williams, and Ryne Sandberg.

The Major League Rookie All-Star Team is one of a number of awards programs by Topps to reward and encourage young ballplayers. Since 1959, Topps has annually bestowed honors on minor leaguers, baseball scouts and the Baseball Organization of the Year.

Koerko, if we can’t find a left-handed platoon at first (with Garko, who I think will hit once familiar with NL pitchers but who will never be confused with JT Snow with the glove). Nick Johnson is too good (when healthy) to platoon, and never healthy enough to count on. I’ve been touting Uggla for 2 years but he cannot hit fourth. He hits 5th, and I trade J.Sanchez+ for him in a heartbeat; possibly move Freddie to third or play Uggla at first or in LF. The guy that still fits perfectly (because he might be available) as our #4 is Konerko. Problem: Even if we send Garko to the ChiSox, who else do they want that we can offer except J.Sanchez. Even Rowand, who they like, we’d have to eat $$, which we can’t. And don’t mention Dye, please.
