Now let's take a look at our opening day roster:

HITTERS:

C Rod Barajas (28/28): Barajas will start the year in the MLB as our starter. Barajas played in 98 games last year for the Dodgers, piling up 305 AB. He hit .230 and got 70 hits. He smashed 16 home runs and drove in 47 runs. We expect at least 100 games and a .260 average.

C Michael McKenry (22/22): McKenry will start the year in the MLB as our back-up catcher. Last season McKenry played in 58 games for Pittsburgh, getting 180 AB and hitting .222. He blasted 2 home runs and drove in 11 runs. We expect McKenry to play every third or fourth day and to play in 45-55 games.

1B Garrett Jones (41/41): Jones will start the year in the MLB as our starting first baseman. Jones was our everyday 1B last season, playing in 148 games and getting 423 AB. Jones hit .243 with 16 HR and 58 RBI. We expect Jones to play every day playing in 140-150 games.

2B Neil Walker (46/55): Walker will start the year in the MLB as our starting second baseman. Walker played virtually every day last year, playing in 159 games and getting 596 AB. Walker hit .273 last season with 12 HR and driving in 83 runs. We expect Walker to be at least a .280 hitter and to play at least 150 games.

3B Pedro Alvarez (24/43): Alvarez had a great 2010 power season as he hit 16 home runs in 98 games and driving in 64 runs. Last season, however, Alvarez took a step back, hitting .191 in only 74 games and hitting 4 home runs and only driving in 19 runs. This year he will be our starting third baseman. We expect him to play in at least 100 games and to hit 20 home runs.

3B Casey McGehee (22/22): McGehee had a breakout year for Milwaukee in 2010 hitting .285, hitting 23 home runs and driving in 104 runs. Last season, however, was not as great. He hit only .223 and hitting only 13 HR and 67 RBI. We are hoping for at least some of 2010 Casey McGehee. McGehee will likely play 60-70 games, backing up Garrett Jones at first and occasionally playing third.

SS Clint Barmes (44/44): Barmes will start the year in the MLB as our starting SS. Last season Barmes played in 123 games for Colorado and hit .244, smashing 12 HR and driving in 39 runs. Out of Barmes, we expect 105-115 games played.

SS Yamaico Navarro (31/45): Navarro will start the season in the MLB, although on a short leash. We would like to harness Navarro's potential and try to make him into a really nice player.

SS John McDonald (24/24): McDonald will start the season in the MLB as a back-up SS, back-up 3B, back-up 2B, and back-up LF. McDonald played in 84 games for Arizona and Toronto as a utility man. Out of McDonald we expect 80 games at multiple positions.

LF Alex Presley (36/40): Presley will start the season in the MLB as our starting Left Fielder. Last season, Presley played in 52 games for us and hit a promising .298. Presley will likely own the lead-off spot this season. We expect at least 140 games from Presley and a .290 average.

CF Andrew McCutchen (70/78): McCutchen will start the season in the MLB as our starting CF. He will be hitting in the 3 hole and has big expectations. Last season he played in 158 games, hitting .259 with 23 HR and 89 RBI. This season we expect him to play in at least 150 games and to hit 20+ HR and drive in 90+ RBI.

CF Gorkys Hernandez (21/31): Hernandez played well in AAA last season hitting .283. Hernandez will start the year in the MLB but could be sent down mid-season.

RF Jose Tabata (66/78): Tabata had a solid year last season. He hit .266 in 91 games. This season, however, we expect better. 130 games and a .290 average in the 2 hole.

RF Nate McClouth (25/25): McClouth had a sub-par 2011 campaign. He hit only .228 in 81 games. We are expecting him to back up in all three outfield positions and play in 70-80 games.
