Here is how we are going to roll with things to start the season. With so many options for the starting rotation we decided to go with some of the vets to lead the way and to hopefully get this team off on the right note. Looking for Tyler Thornburg to be a solid contribution to the pitching staff and for Seth Maness to become solid closer of the future. Two names to keep an eye on in the pitching staff. As for the batting order it was hard to get all the pieces we wanted in there with so many SS and 3B options. Went with Middlebrooks at the DH over Morales to hopefully not only raise Middlebrows stocks a bit but also win some games. Its hard to sit Didi Gregorius as he looks to have a bright future ahead of him. Look for future moves to include Gregarious and Morales to be moved. Also maybe a couple shocks down the road?

Starting Rotation:
Doug Fister
Brandon Morrow
Daniel Hudson
Tyler Thornburg
Tim Lincecum

Blake Treinen: Emergency SP/Long Relief

Middle Relief:
Tyler Matzek
Andrew Chafin
Robbie Ross Jr
Drew Rucinkski

Setup: Boone Whiting

Closer: Seth Maness

Lineup:
CF: Logan Schafer
SS: Wilmer Flores
1B: Kennys Vargas
3B: Lonnie Chisenhall
DH: Will Middlebrooks
RF: Allen Craig
LF: Travis Snider
2B: Asdrubal Cabrera
C: Martin Maldonado

Till there is a fair market for some of the veterns and players that are not in the future plans this is how we are going to lineup. Not the best lineup out there, but it does look a capable of winning some games. Once there is a fair market the plan as of now is to look at dealing some of the older guys to get some minor league depth for the future. But who knows maybe we will get a hot streak and win the championship. Stay tuned!
