Offseason Preview: San Diego (Part Two)

Lineup Projection
C. Nick Hundley - Stop gap.
1b. Adrian Gonzalez - STUD.
2b. Matt Antonelli - Two disappointing season in a row, Antonelli will need to do big things in order to prove to ownership that he is the second baseman of the future. Travis Denker is also a potential solution here.
3b. Kevin Kouzmanoff
ss. Yunel Escobar - If they could get him from Atlanta he is a rising star.
lf. Chase Headley
cf. Will Venable - Marin native showed flashes of brilliance, not considered the long term solution but a big season from Venable could hold off Cedric Hunter, expected to be a big time player.
rf. Brian Giles - Back for one last year with Giles.
sp1 - Chris Young
sp2 - Clay Hensley - Solid potential had struggles last year, but he can definitely use the full time innings.
sp3 - Wade LeBlanc
sp4 - Josh Geer
sp5 - Brad Hennessey- Wouldn’t be the first time that an NL West starter was passed around.
closer - Heath Bell - Should step right in for Trevor Hoffman, the last of the old guard in San Diego.






i forgot to come over here and congratulate you for the Cy Young award! I love that Tim Lincecum! He deserved it!
