I pray that Aviles recovers quickly and returns to 2008 form. Guillen needs to be full time DH if we can't get him off our books. There is no reason to play him any more in RF. I would like to see Coco back with a new contract. It's time for Buck to be done in KC. I like Buck but Olivo/Pena makes more sense. I caught glimpses of things I liked in Mitch so I don't mind him as a 4th outfielder. Kila deserves a chance to back up Butler and DH part of the time. Gordan should get another year just to see what happens. I can live with Teahan in right just as long as I don't see Guillen out there in 2010. Jacobs has no place here. I believe that Callaspo's bat will continue to produce and he will get better defensively. Butler will mash in 2010. Dejesus will continue to be Dejesus which is not bad. I don’t foresee us in the playoffs next year but it seems that that lineup would offer tolerable baseball. Our bullpen scares me and the rotation doesn’t look very solid either. Hochaver seems lost. I still don’t know what we have in Davies. Will Meche and Bannister come back healthy next year? If something doesn’t change with the pitching you are right, 2010 does not look good.
