Projected lineups and rotations for 2007

[Bamafan3723]

Can someone give me a link to all MLB team's projected starting lineups and starting rotations for Opening Day 2007? Or maybe a fan of each team post there team's? I have yet them anywhere.

Re: Projected lineups and rotations for 2007

So far I haven't seen anything that's even remotely up to date as far as websites.

For the Mets I believe you'll see this lineup on opening day.

Jose Reyes SS
Paul LoDuca C
Carlos Beltran CF
Carlos Delgado 1B
David Wright 3B
Moises Alou LF
Shawn Green RF
Jose Valentin 2B

With the pitching rotation looking like this
Tom Glavine
Orlando Hernandez
John Maine
Oliver Perez
Mike Pelfrey(or this could be Chan Ho Park)

if Park is not in the rotation he would be the Long Relief man

Burgos
Feliciano
Schowenweis
Sosa
Heilmann
Wagner....they may carry 12 pitchers to start the season...if not I believe either Sosa or Burgos won't come up with the team. Either way....once Duaner Sanchez is ready one of them is gone....and then the other once Mota is back from suspension.
Who knows what's going to happen if Martinez is back healthy at mid season

The bench should be
Franco
Chavez
Easley
Newhan
Castro

I've been digging through fan message boards to find some predicted projections. Here's what I found on the D'Backs:

Re: Projected lineups and rotations for 2007

Luis Castillo 2B
Nick Punto 3B
Joe Mauer C
Michael Cuddyer RF
Justin Morneau 1B
Torii Hunter CF
Rondell White LF
Jason Kubel DH
Jason Bartlett SS

I'd flip-flop Punto and Bartlett in the order.

Bench:
Jason Tyner CF/LF
Lew Ford LF/RF
Jeff Cirillo 1B/3B
Mike Redmond C
Not Sure about the 5th bench spot. We may carry a third Catcher.

The 5th spot is likely to be Rule 5 pick Alejandro Machado, SS/2B.

Rotation
Johan Santana
2-5 spots are up for competition between Boof Bonser, Ramon Ortiz, Sidney Ponson, Matt Garza, Carlos Silva, Glenn Perkins and Scott Baker

With the money that Silva and Ortiz are making, they're all but guaranteed to be in the rotation. Bonser probably has a spot locked up unless he completely forgets how to pitch, leaving Ponson/Garza/Perkins/Baker fighting for the last spot.

Bullpen:
Joe Nathan
Dennys Reyes
Pat Neshek
Jessie Crain
Matt Guerrier
Juan Rincon

Not much to say here, best bullpen in the game.

I'd make a couple of changes. First, flip Edmonds and Rolen. Second, it's very unlikely Narveson will start the season in the rotation. More than likely, it's gonna be Braden Looper. Also, look to see Josh Kinney and Ryan Franklin in the bullpen in stead of Rincon and Narveson.

Of course, we've only played a couple of spring training games, so no one knows for sure how it'll come together.
