For the next several years, assuming no free agents, which there will undoubtedly be some, but I doubt we see any big timers with all the money the big cities are throwing around. Just for fun:

7. Jay Bruce, RF
8. Paul Bako/Craig Tatum, C

2010:
1. Drew Stubbs, CF
2. Jeff Keppinger, SS
3. Jay Bruce, RF
4. Brandon Phillips, 2B
5. Joe Votto, 1B
6. Todd Frazier, LF
7. Juan Francisco, 3B
8. Craig Tatum, C

2011:
1. Drew Stubbs, CF
2. Todd Frazier, LF
3. Jay Bruce, RF
4. Brandon Phillips, 2B
5. Joe Votto, 1B
6. Juan Francisco, 3B
7. Jeff Keppinger/Chris Valaika/FA, SS
8. Craig Tatum, C

2012:
1. Drew Stubbs, CF
2. Brandon Phillps, 2B

Interesting, but I'm not sure I see Keppinger staying with us that long, especially if he proves not to be the real deal after a full season (this year).

I don't know if we keep Kepp much past his first or second arb year either, but I don't know who will be SS as our defensive shortstops don't have the bat (Cozart, Janish) and our offensive SS don't have the glove to stick there (Frazier, Valaika, Soto). Jose Castro is a possibility, but a slim one.

I like 2010 a lot


I think Juan Fransisco is more likely to move to LF than Frazier because of his arm and the fact he is going to be a power hitter.

[The Duke]

Frazier projects to be a 20-25 HR guys as well, and in GABP that could be more like 25-30 HR a year. Frazier has a decent arm as well, but I think they will try to stick Francisco's canon at 3rd.
