Nassau G-Men 2011 Outlook
The Nassau G- Men are coming off a terrible 2010 campaign, which saw them win a measly 59 games ... GM Steve Garafalo was unable to make any blockbuster acquisitions for 2011, but has hopefully given the fans of the G-Men something to look forward to in 2012 and beyond... the starting rotation should be the strength of the team with a capable 1-2-3 of Zack Greinke, Hiroki Kuroda and Matt Garza while the 4 and 5 spots will be split between 2010 1st rd pick Rick Porcello, 2011 1st rd pick Daniel Hudson, Luke Hochevar and Brian Moehler ... while the bullpen will see closer duties shared by David Aardsma and John Axford ... rounding out the pen with a mix of young hopefuls (Frasor,Parnell,Ogando) plus a mix of veterans and bounce back candidates
the offense has the possibility of being truly Offensive .. C duties will be shared by Mike Napoli and Ryan Doumit 1B Casey McGehee 2B platoon of Chris Getz and Ramon Santiago SS Cesar Izturis 3B platoon of Blake DeWitt and Mark Reynolds While the Outfield will be manned by CF Franklin Guiterrez RF Corey Hart and LF platoon of Raul Ibanez and Johnny Gomes ... any resemblance to a playoff caliber team will be purely coincidental ... G-Men GM/Manager Steve Garafalo hopes for some improvement on the field (at least 62 or 63 wins this year)"our idea was, since the offense will be purely 2nd rate, at least we have upgraded the pitching and defense up the middle" and picked up some youth in hopes of better things to come in 2012"

Will be a long season, but if Porcello continues his 2nd half and Hudson does well, you should have a nice starting rotation for a bit. Guys like Aardsma, Ibanez, Gomes, Hart could snare you some youth or picks to help for the next draft. Hopefully Grienke gets past his physical and mental issues. The move to the NL should be nice.
