Re: *2011 Team Projected Lineups*

Blue Jays 2011

Lineup:

1) Raja Davis (CF)
2) Yunel Escobar (SS)
3) Adam Lind (1B)
4) Jose Bautista (3B)
5) Aaron Hill (2B)
6) Travis Snider (LF)
7) Edwin Encarnacion (DH)
8) Juan Rivera (RF)
9) J.P. Arencibia (C)

Bench:

Jose Molina (C)
Scott Podsednik (OF)
John McDonald (IF)
Mike McCoy (Util)

Starting Rotation:

1) Ricky Romero (LH)
2) Brandon Morrow (RH)
3) Brett Cecil (LH)
4) Jesse Litsch (RH)
5) Marc Rzepczynski (LH)

**Note** Kyle Drabek will be the first call up from AAA for who ever falters in the 4/5 slots.

Bullpen:

LRP) Shawn Camp (RH)
MRP) Carols Villanueva (RH)
MRP) Octavio Dotel (RH)
MRP) Jason Frasor (RH)
SU) John Rauch (RH)
SU) David Purcey (LH)
CP) Frank Francisco (RH)


There's a chance they go with one extra arm in the bullpen and McCoy starts in AAA, but I think this is pretty much it. I also think there's a chance that Podsednik starts in the OF and Rivera on the bench, but it's hard to predict with Farrel being in his first year as manager.

Re: *2011 Team Projected Lineups*

Since some people are putting rotations too the cubs will be going with:

Dempster
zambrano
Garza

And then some combo of cashier, Coleman, Silva, wells or samardzija.

Re: *2011 Team Projected Lineups*

Shouldn't this be in the Baseball forum?

I came in here thinking it had something to do with the Show.
Its just peoples predictions for their teams lineups this year.

No, because it's for use in The Show 11.

Re: *2011 Team Projected Lineups*

boston:

ellsbury, cf
pedroia, 2b
crawford, lf
gonzalez, 1b
youkilis, 3b
ortiz, dh
drew, rf
saltalamacchia, c
scutaro, ss

This is the expected lineup, though I would probably alter it a bit (maybe bat ellsbury 9th and crawford 1st, so when the lineup turns over, you get ellsbury and crawford back-to-back, some interesting things could happen there with two of the fastest guys in the league)

Bench:
Lowrie
Mcdonald
Varitek
Kalish

Rotation:

1. Lester
2. Beckett
3. Buchholz
4. Lackey
5. Matsuzaka

Bullpen:

Papelbon
Bard
Jenks
Wheeler
Wakefield
Atchison
Okajima (maybe Doubront instead, though I'd rather see him start in the minors)

Re: *2011 Team Projected Lineups*

I guess I'll do an Orioles rotation too

Guthrie
Matusz
duchscherer
begersen
arrieta

at least that's what I will use in my Franchise, and probably will call up tillman and britton at some point. In real life however with duchscherer's health issues I don't know if he will be there, but the 4 others will.

bullpen:

gregg
koji
jim johnson
Gonzalez
Accardo
berken
vandenhurk

bench:

jake fox
cesar izturis

everyone else I will make battle out for the last two bench spots in spring training

Rotation
Volquez

No I was referring to how I think the Reds will probably start the year. Dusty has already talked about Bruce in the lead off spot and Stubbs has started the spring struggling. Stubbs didn't have the OBP last year to get that lead off spot. I dont like it but I think lead off is between Phillips and Bruce and Phillips wants the 2 spot.

Re: *2011 Team Projected Lineups*

Tigers

In real life we will probably go...

Jackson
Rhymes (or Guillen if healthy)

Cabrera
Martinez
Peralta
Raburn
Inge
Avila

Rotation

Verlander
Scherzer
Porcello
Coke
Penny

Pen

Thomas

Re: *2011 Team Projected Lineups*

White Sox

LF Juan Pierre
SS Alexei Ramirez
CF Alex Rios
DH Adam Dunn
1B Paul Konerko
RF Carlos Quentin
2B Gordon Beckham
C A.J. Pierzynski
3B Brent Morel/Omar Vizquel/Mark Teahan

Close, but Ozzie has said he doesn't want Alexei hitting 2nd, and wants him in a more run producing spot like right after Konerko or Quentin. Beckham will be 2nd.

Re: *2011 Team Projected Lineups*

A's - A little early since who knows what Geren will throw out there but:

Crisp
Barton
DeJesus
Matsui
Willingham
Kouz
Suzuki
Ellis
Pennington


Hard to say how the rotation will shake down. One guess:

Cahill
Gonzalez
Anderson
Braden
Outman, McCarthy, Cramer, or Ross (I hope Harden ends up in the pen)
