[FNQ]

Just finished before the game...

The bell is tolling above Jason Kendall, and now with Suzuki shaking hands and getting friendly with our pitching staff, its just a matter of time...

On a side note, as much as I like Suzuki's game, I cant help but wonder if this is to actually improve us, that Suzuki has proven himself, OR if this is to shake up the team, OR if this is the beginning of a lot of minor leaguers who will begin to see MLB time due to the lack of offense we've had this year. My biggest concern is Daric Barton... where do we put him? We'd have to move 2 of these 3 (Dan Johnson, Mike Piazza, Jack Cust) to get him some significant burn... and I wouldnt mind selling high on DJ or Cust right now.

barton will be the starting DH next year.

[FNQ]

I cant wait til we start looking towards next year...

C: Suzuki
1B: Dan Johnson
2B: Mark Ellis
3B: Eric Chavez
SS: Bobby Crosby
LF: Travis Buck
CF: Milton Bradley
RF: Nick Swisher
DH: Jack Cust? Daric Barton?

I'd personally not mind to see some SPs (Kennedy, Loaiza), RPs (Duscherer, Calero) and positional players (Chavez, Crosby, Bradley, Kotsay, Cust) getting shipped out for some prospects and a longer look at our minor leaguers.

bradley and kennedy will be gone.

Well if we keep a vet,for the outfield I dont see it being Bradley,I'd say we'd keep Kotsay to play CF,or maybe even Chris Denorfia before we keep Bradley,but Chris would have to be healthy.
