No problem with your projected starting rotation. If one of these gets injured, look for Jaime Garcia to move up

Bullpen: Perez (closer), Motte, Worrell, Politte, Castellanos, (Ron) Flores

I agree. Except I'd drop Politte & Castellanos and add Jimenez and McClellan. Dove could be in the picture too.

Starting Position Players: C Mark Johnson, 1B Josh Phelps, 2B Jarrett Hoffpauir, SS Brian Barden, 3B David Freeze, LF Cody Haerther, CF Colby Rasmus, RF Joe Mather

I'm in agreement with everything, except the SS. I'd pencil in Ryan there (I don't see how the Cards can carry more than one extra Mid-Inf -- Miles.)

Bench: C Gabe Johnson, 1B/3B Travis Hanson, 2B/SS D'Angelo Jimenez, OF Juan Gonzalez, OF Amaury Marti, OF Nick Stavinoha

Again, BleacherBum, I agree for the most part. I'd drop Gabe Johnson and substitute Pagnozzi. Assign Gabe to back up the AA catcher. Also, I'd drop Hanson and substitute Mike McCoy.

Memphis can afford to carry 3 bench outfielders, right? -- until May, when they have to trim the roster back to 24. Is that correct? I could be wrong.


What happens to Rico Washington 3b/1b?
(Which begs the question: Why did they resign him in the fall?
Answer: They resigned him a couple of days before getting Freese in the Edmonds trade; my guess is he's released if everyone else is healthy.)
