Gutierrez in center, not Saunders. Montero and Jaso are both equally bad at catching so no difference there. Whoever told you Ibanez was going to be a starter needs to check their facts

He did say they could look like that... injuries do happen

I'm not sure why people think Ibanez will receive significant playing time... his situation is similar to Griffey's in '09, this is his swan song. If Guti or Saunders goes down then Wells is the first in line.

You honestly think Ibanez signed with the M's to sit the bench? There's a reason Morse is playing RF.

Some combination of those players will have to be in the lineup. They all can't be bench guys. Montero is going to get his ABs one way or another. Morales is going to have to play some first in order to get his bat in the lineup. Even more so when Zunino comes up. Gutierrez can't be counted on to be the gold glover he once was let alone counted on to be in the lineup after his health issues the last couple of years. And one of the best defenders in the league, Ryan, could see his PT cut if he continues to hit below the Mendoza line.

Jaso is in Oakland now - Montero everyday could be interesting!

There is actually a good number of M's fans on this board. Personally, I hope both the Yankees and Sox sink into the ocean :P

A's should def. be a bit higher than where they are. IMO
