Season starts tomorrow, and I cannot wait. A healthy Harden = AL West Champs.

So whats the ETA on Daric Barton this year? May? I'd love to see him at 1st base so we can get Swisher in right and Bradley in left (ideally w/Kotsay in the middle).
The less Shannon Stewart we see the better.

I think it really depends on injuries. I would love to see Barton up. I am kinda surprised they dont have him up already playing 1st. Then we could move Swish to right and Buck to left. I am not sure if Buck can play left but if he could that would be a pretty damn good outfield.

^ I agree that would be a great OF,even thou I think Swish could end up being a gold glover at 1st base if he played there all the time.

Think Jason Kendall... complete lack of power, supposedly quick but not really, supposed .300 hitter but hasn't been for a while...
I'd like to keep Buck at RF, Swish in LF, and Barton at 1B before the season's over.

maybe it's time to bring Kurt Suzuki up also,and yes I know it aint just Kendall,but our hitting is killing us.
