Man, I am starting to see one of my offseason dreams come true and I am super excited about it. I think Young will ultimately play a fairly good chunk of games at 1st too so I could still see them signing Vlad, but that is certainly unlikely.

As Grant pointed out today, penciling Young in at 1B could also allow you to dangle Moreland in front of TB (seeing as how they just lost their starting 1B) with the hopes of bringing back Garza. IF we did that, I could then see bringing Vlad back as much more likely to happen as I doubt they plan on Davis (unfortunately) spending much if any time in the majors this year unless he explodes in AAA.

Likely lineup:

Andrus
Kinsler
Hamilton
Cruz
Beltre
Young
Moreland
Torrealba
Borbon

Hopeful lineup:

Andrus
Kinsler
Beltre
Hamilton
Cruz
Vlad
Young
Torrealba
Borbon

Ecstatic lineup:

Andrus
Kinsler
Beltre
Hamilton
Cruz
Vlad
Young
Murphy
Torrealba

Likely rotation:

Wilson
Lewis
Webb (if healthy/effective - if not, move 4/5 up and add Ogando/Kirkman/Feldman as 5)
Hunter
Holland

Hopeful rotation:

Wilson
Lewis
Webb (if healthy/effective - if not, move 4/5 up and add Holland as 5)
Hunter
Feliz

Ecstatic rotation:

Wilson
Lewis
Garza
Webb (if healthy/effective - if not, move 5 up and add Holland as 5)
Feliz
