Your Teams Projected 2015 Lineup

[tpeichel]

The Padres do not need Hamels and will not go after him. They had Ross / Kennedy / Cashner

Thats ace material. Why would they give up the rest of their prospects for Hamels? and yes it would require Renfroe / Wisler / Hedges

Also not sure if you are implying a platoon with Myers and Smith? That's not happening. Smith will be traded or be a bench player. Myers also probably will not be leading off.

That lineup is in the top 5 in baseball IMO.

I listed Myers and Smith together, because I figured Myers would be gone if they flipped him to Philly for Hamels.

Isn't Hamels from San Diego? Can u imagine how popular of a move that would be

Yep, he is from San Diego.

Lucky bastard I've only visited. Going from San Diego to Philly has got to be one of the worst moves possible

I'll be a little surprised if this doesn't happen the way the Padres GM has been operating.

Guess I'll eat my crow

Looks like you are right. I'm fairly shocked by this. Seems like a bad move for SD. They need offense not pitching and to give up the prospects along with Myers for Hamels is a bad deal.

Phillies - I am pretty sure this will change. This team is old with a nice bullpen.

CF Ben Revere
SS Freddy Galvis (though the Phillies have been linked to Jung-ho Kang as the mystery team that won with the posting fee)
2B Chase Utley
1B Ryan Howard
OF Marlon Byrd
C Carlos Ruiz
OF Dominic Brown
3B Cody Asche

SP Hamesl
SP Cliff Lee
SP David Buchanon
SP Jerome Williams

CL Papelbon
RP Jake Diekman
RP Ken Giles

Should be good...if it was 2008 or 2009.

They sucked last year, no reason it should be any different this year.

Too many bad deals on that team to contend. And there's no way to get rid of them. Howard, Byrd, Ruiz, Lee, Utley should all be moved but they can't be because they would need to pick up so much money.

This is how I would like to see the Angels lineup but Scioscia is stuck in his ways so we will probably see Trout-Pujols-Hamilton 2-4...

RF-Calhoun
C-Iannetta
CF-Trout
1B-Pujols
LF-Hamilton
DH-Cron/Joyce
3B-Freese
2B-Green
SS-Aybar

Bench
UT-Rutledge
OF-Cowgill
C-Perez

SP
1. Weaver
2. Richards
3. Shoemaker
4. Wilson
5. Heaney

Pen
LR Rasmus
LR Santiago
MR Bedrosian
MR Pestano
MR Salas
MR Morin
