I would like us to offer Nick Johnson a contract for next year and have a lineup of:

Maybin CF
Coghlan 2B
Hanley SS
Johnson 1B
Ross RF
Morrison LF
Cantu 3B
Baker/Platoon mate C

If the lineup next includes all of those players, I think it will be:

CF Maybin
1B Johnson
SS Hanley
3B Cantu
RF Ross
2B Coghlan
LF Morrison
C Baker

i just saw the black guy with the eye patch

[Nick]

If we can get him cheap (and he is rather underrated) then that'd be cool, and he is a fan favorite so there is that benefit. But he's also already 28. Well. A guess a 3 year contract with a team option 4th year wouldn't be horrible.

However, CF is locked (Maybin), rf is locked (stanton), and we have a glut of OFers who atleast one should emerge that could produce close to his level and only make 300k (carroll, cousins, petersen, and maybe Raynor if he decides to stop being a dick). It's just not a position of need.

I'd like to see Carroll get a shot to start in 2010. Then come 2011 when Stanton is ready, the organization can decide between Ross and Carroll for that last outfield starting spot. If Carroll proves he's worthy of being a starter great, if not hopefully we can sign Ross to a reasonable deal. I like Cousins, Petersen, and Raynor, but none of those guys are even close to being a sure thing, but if one of those guys has a breakout season in 2010 then it's not a discussion.

What I'd like to see:

2010

1. Maybin CF
2. Morrison 1B
3. Ramirez SS
4. Uggla 2B
5. Ross LF
6. Baker C
7. Coghlan 3B
8. Carroll RF

2011

1. Maybin CF
2. Morrison 1B
3. Ramirez SS
4. Stanton RF
5. Ross/Carroll/Other LF
6. Uggla/Coghlan 2B
7. Baker C
8. Dominguez 3B

Have to think that if Ross can be signed for a solid rate for that 3(+1) term deal, he would also have solid trade value if his stats hold based on his cost. That's, of course, assuming both Maybin and Morrison are well established major leagues starters and that Stanton can hold his own at the big league level when arriving.
