The TBA is great!
Oregon Beaver looks like this,
A solid pitching staff for a change:
Mark Buehrle and Colby Lewis will be the aces of this
staff I am counting on Jason Hammel,
Philip Humber, and Josh Tomlin will add bulk of the innings for the season. The 6th starter on the staff will
see allot of action for the year is Freddy Garcia and Jeff Nieman will add some
valued innings.
The Rolaids crew is better with closers Heath Bell and Javy
Guerra will be the head liners. Adding
many that can do in relief getting out the best getting out the rhb is Sergio
Romo and others will add to exciting yr in relief. Todd Coffey, Edgmer
Escalona, Chris Leroux, Clay Mortensen, Takashi Saito, Michael Stutes, Clay
Hensley and Esmerling Vasquez will handle the chore during the yr.
At first base is Derek Lee (an original beaver) and Michael
Morris. Waiting in the minors is Paul
Goldschmidt and Jordan Pacheco for their turn to play for the Beavers. Both may see some action in the TBA 2012
season.
At second base is Ryan Theriot (another original beaver) and
Orland Hudson. Great defense and good on base average is a key for this
position.
Playing shortstop is Jimmy Rollins and Justin Sellers. Both will see action during the year and it is
good to have Rollins for his defense.
Playing third base is Placido Polanco and Daniel Descalso. Both will add another platoon position play
for the season. Polanco’s defense is key
for the late innings success. Descalso
bat will add some excitement for the Beavers this season.
In leftfield is Juan Pierre and Chris Denorfia (who was one
of original beaver) will see the most time in this position. Also, seeing action here is Michael Morse when
not playing first base.
In centerfield is Marlon Byrd and
newly draftee Endy Chavez will share the position in a platoon situation. Late inning defense is Andres Torres. This maybe the weakest link in the lineup but
don’t count on them to have an out every time at bat.
Playing right field is Carlos Beltran (another original
beaver) with Jose Constanza in sent to the minors waiting his chance to play
for the TBA.
At catcher Lou Marson and Bryan Pena will see most of the
action at the backstop position for 2012.
Henry Blanco, Tony Cruz and Alfonzo Eliezer is waiting for a chance to
play this position for the Beavers.
It looks like this team will contend and may win the
Championship of the TBA with a little luck.
Hope springs eternal!
