September 10, 200521 yr Maybe 1. Pierre 2. Luis 3. Cabrera 4. Delgado 5. Hermida 6. Lo Duca 7. Encarnacion 8. Gonzalez 9. (Pitcher) Pitching Staff: Willis Beckett Vargas Olsen? And I'm thinking the Marlins trade Lowell and a few prospects for a good vet pitcher. Oh and bullpen: Mota(possibly be traded?) Villone Messenger Mecir? Jones Any differences you make? Obviously I think Burnett will go to free agency.
September 10, 200521 yr Oh.. I was just thinking! If we do get rid of Mikey and put Miggy at 3rd.. Who is going to be our Left Fielder? Hermi is going to be in right
September 10, 200521 yr Juan can play left but Hermi is a rookie so we can make him play there. 938271[/snapback] Encarnacion? He is probably not going to be here next year.. WAY too much $$
September 10, 200521 yr If we trade Mikey, wouldn't be suprised to see Conine reup for one more season since he has been incredibly productive, for left field, that is. Encarnacion simply won't be back as he is not in the Marlins plans to any of our knowledge.
September 10, 200521 yr I thought he had 2 years left on his contract, my bad. Maybe we trade Mota for a good outfielder like Austin Kearns?

September 10, 200521 yr The Reds are not the place to send Mikey, due to the emergence of Edwin Encarnacion. But, if we go for any Reds outfielder, my guess would be Adam Dunn. The Twins were interested in Mikey if they could unload Cuddyer, so maybe we could get Loshe or Silva.
September 10, 200521 yr C: Lo Duca 1b: Delgado 2b: Castillo 3b: Cabrera SS: Gonzalez/Andino CF: Pierre LF: Free Agent/Trade RF: Hermida SP: Willis, Beckett, Vargas, Olsen, Valdez/free agent/trade.
September 10, 200521 yr We still have to wait and see if Gonzo and Pierre decide to stay here... There is still no point in talking about next year's lineup...
September 10, 200521 yr We still have to wait and see if Gonzo and Pierre decide to stay here... There is still no point in talking about next year's lineup... 938306[/snapback] Pierre is not a free agent, he has no say wether he stays or goes.
September 10, 200521 yr We still have to wait and see if Gonzo and Pierre decide to stay here... There is still no point in talking about next year's lineup... 938306[/snapback] JP is signed through next year I believe.
September 10, 200521 yr I thought he had 2 years left on his contract, my bad. Maybe we trade Mota for a good outfielder like Austin Kearns? 938278[/snapback] The Reds wanted Zack Greinke for Austin Kearns. So, they're not taking Mota.
September 10, 200521 yr I'd like to see: 1. Luis - 2b 2. Hermida - rf 3. Cabrera - 3b 4. Delgado - 1b 5. Lo Duca - c 6. FA - lf 7. Seabass/Andino - ss 8. Pierre - cf 9. (Pitcher)
September 10, 200521 yr I'm sure he put JP 8th to have some semblence of plate discipline ahead of the pitcher. However Pierre's speed would be wasted batting immediately in front of the pitcher's spot. Instead of stealing, he'd be advanced by bunts all the time instead of you know half the time batting in the leadoff spot.
September 10, 200521 yr C- LoDuca 1b- Delgado 2b- Castillo 3b- Cabrera ss- Andino/Gonzo lf- Willingham cf-JP rf-Hermida
September 11, 200521 yr Presumably yes, he has to have a good deal of physical talent to had allowed played shortstop in college and catcher in the minors/majors. Will he take to the outfield though? How well does he read fly balls off the bat? What about his foot work?
