Projected 2010 lineup

by greg456 on Feb 8, 2007 12:41 PM EST

This might have been posted/discussed earlier, but I figure now is a good time to take a look at our future. Here is BA's projected lineup for 2010.

C Miguel Perez (for lack of anyone else, I guess)
1b Joey Votto
2b Brandon Phillips
3b Edwin Encarnacion
SS Milton Loo (maybe a stretch?)
LF Adam Dunn
CF Drew Stubbs
RF Jay Bruce
No. 1 Starter Homer Bailey
No. 2 Starter Aaron Harang
No. 3 Starter Bronson Arroyo
No. 4 Starter Johnny Cueto
No. 5 Starter Travis Wood
Closer Sean Watson

That looks pretty cool to me. Maybe some of you with heavy toolbelts would be able to project how much money some guys like EE, Phillips, etc. would be making by 2010. I'd like to know what this lineup might cost.

As I noted, I don't think Perez will ever be the guy in Cincy. Maybe a 2007 pick (J.P. Arencibia-Tennessee) or F.A. will fill that void.

Seems there's also a lot of faith being placed in Stubbs and Loo. The thing I'm comfortable with about Stubbs is that even if he hits worse than Mike Cameron, apparently his defense is gold glove quality right now, and there could be enough offense coming from other places that it won't matter.

This has been an exciting week!

Yeah

This was discussed here: http://www.redreporter.com/story/2007/1/29/94945/9323

But that thread is locked now, so I guess a new thread might be in order since we know Harang and Arroyo will be here then, hopefully.

Actually

I will be manning right field. Just a hunch.

Dunn in 2010?

I just dont see it. I am still hoping that somehow he is not in the line-up in 07! I do not see us winning with him in the outfield.

GO REDS!

in 2010

Dunn will be be making a run at number 500. I certainly want to see him roaming the outfield then.

500

If Dunn averages over 75 homers the next 4 seasons to reach 500 in 2010, I'm pretty confident all the "he strikes out too much" talk will cease.

Heh

not if he only averages 90 RBI.

Most Home Runs without 100 RBIs

I came across this list the other day with all the talk about Dunn and his lack of RBIs. Needless to say, jacking 75 a year with 90 RBIs would put him tops on this list.

MOST HOME RUNS WITHOUT 100 RBIS

Bonds 2003- 45 - 90
Kilabrew 1963- 45 - 96
Aaron 1969 - 44 - 97
Davey Johnson 1973 - 43 - 99
Matt Williams 1994 - 43 - 96
Mickey Mantle 1958 - 42 - 97
Duke Snider 1957 - 40 - 92
Mickey Mantle 1960 - 40 - 94
Hank Aaron 1973 - 40 - 96
Rico Petrocelli 1969 40 - 97
Ken Griffey Jr. 1994 40 - 90
Darrell Evans 1985 - 40 - 94
Paul Konerko 2005- 40 - 99
Adam Dunn 2006- 40 - 92

I think we would have seen

We maight have seen Dunn traded this year, but i think Krivs wanted pitching for him... prolly hoping the price for pitching will go down...

In accordance to the prophecy

Yeah

6 times by hall of famers with 2 other times by guys that will likely go to the Hall. I guess what they say is true, you have to be really good to suck that bad.

Can I get a hooha?

by Slyde on Feb 8, 2007 4:31 PM EST up reply actions

that should have said 400

oops. and i know that's a stretch, but i think he's going to hit 50 in the next year or two and close to it in the years after that - all that pent up rage at the non-believers. like michael. i think he's going to be sitting at around 345 at the start of 2010.

remember, he is supposed to be hitting 50 a year, right? ;)

He who laughs last obviously didn't get the joke.

by Daedalus on Feb 8, 2007 4:13 PM EST up reply actions

Our Favorite Toy

Suggests 97% to hit 400 by 2015
Suggests 64% to hit 500 by 2015.

The 50 a year would also assume he won't get injured in the next 3 years to get to 345 by 2010.. I've I had to guess I say 400 sometime in 2012..

But I hear ya! I'd love to see him do it in a Reds uni also.

by snohio on Feb 8, 2007 4:44 PM EST up reply actions

Dunn

If he averages 33 for the next 6 yrs he should hit 400 in 2012.

Here is how Dunn stacks up after 6 full seasons against some other guys. Statistically it proves nothing but shows how other guys have done early in their careers.

Ruth 264*
Mays 212**
Dunn 198
Aaron 179
Griffey Jr 172
Bonds 142
Sosa 127

* first 6 full seasons playing 100 g or more. 20 career to this point
** 4 hrs in 52-53. Military service
