I see what you are saying, if in 2007 the Rockies can be +/- a game or two of .500, then target 2008 for 85ish wins, the plan would be challenge for the division in '09 and the Series in 2010? That could makes sense.

I just caution as to the idea that a 2010 projected lineup. Look back four years at their projected lineups for 2007 and look at the change from projected to reality. I'm wondering what percentage of guys are actually starting, who is still with that organization, who was moved for any value, who is even still in baseball. The further out one moves they less likely they are to be correct in the projection.

I'm over 50 hour weeks, plus two hours a day of commuting time. A few weeks ago I launched my own blog about Seattle Sounders FC and Life in Puget Sound. I won't be by these parts often as my focus has changed. Sorry about the unannounced retirement.
