	What do you think our starting pitching rotation will be in '09? How about our batting lineup?

	Okay, I'm going to do no FA signings and Tex being resigned. Rotation: Tim Hudson Jair Jurrjens Jo-Jo Reyes Charlie Morton Jorge Campillo Bullpen: Mike Gonzalez Rafael Soriano Blaine Boyer Manny Acosta Will Ohman Phil Stockman Lineup: Jordan Schafer, CF Yunel Escoabar, SS Chipper Jones, 3B Mark Teixeira, 1B Brian McCann, C Jeff Francoeur, RF Kelly Johnson, 2B Gregor Blanco, LF Or............. Kelly Johnson, 2B Yunel Escobar, SS Chipper Jones, 3B Mark Teixeira, 1B Jeff Francoeur, RF Brian McCann, C Matt Diaz, LF Jordan Schafer, CF The latter could serve as either an everyday lineup or an against lefties lineup.

	Next year maybe our rotation will be: #1 Tim Hudson #2 Jair Jurrjens #3 Jorge Campillo #4 Jo-Jo Reyes #5 Jeff Bennett or Charlie Morton I'd like to bump Bennett/Morton to emergency starters/long relievers and get another solid starter at the #2 or #3 spot. Middle relief- Will Ohman. Set-up- Rafael Soriano. Closer- Gonzo. Batting-wise, I'd like a true lead-off man with a good OBP and lots of speed (who wouldn't?). #1 player to be named later (or Josh Anderson), #2 Kelly Johnson, #3 Chipper Jones, #4 Mark Teixeira, #5 Brian McCann, #6 Yunel Escobar, #7 Jeff Francoeur, #8 Brandon Jones.

	Rotation I would *like* to see (not going to happen b/c we never spend money on FA): 1. Tim Hudson 2. C.C. Sabathia 3. Jair Jurrjens 4. Jo-Jo Reyes 5. Charlie Morton Rotation I expect to see: 1. Tim Hudson 2. Jo-Jo Reyes 3. Jair Jurrjens 4. Charlie Morton 5. Jorge Campillo Lineup: 1. Jordan Schafer CF 2. Yunel Escobar SS 3. Chipper Jones 3B 4. Brian McCann C 5. A guy not named Teixeira 1B 6. Jeff Francoeur RF 7. Kelly Johnson 2B 8. Gregor M. Blanco LF I don't think CC will be traded, and I don't think Smoltz or Glavine are coming back. That frees up A LOT of money to go get somebody for the rotation...like CC.

	Call me a fool, or just blind, but I haven't given up on 2008 yet, making it tough to look at '09 just yet. Tomorrow night's game represents the end of the first half, and we have a long way to go before I say, "wait til next year." Further, Tex's return is so much a question mark that I believe the Braves will have 2 sets of offseason plans, one for if they resign him, one if they don't . It's just too early...

	Throw in Mark Teixeira and Mark Kotsay in with Smoltz and Glavine as guys who wont be back... By my calculations, that's $41,500,000. *GO GET SABATHIA OR Ben Sheets, WREN!!!!*
