Castillo may have to start at C next year as a broken jaw kept Sanchez from finishing the year at AA and the A+ to MLB converted projections usually suck. Depending on the sim, Johnson could also claim 2nd or 3rd base. Des, Bruce, Rasmus, Alvarez, and Carter at pretty much locked in to play everyday and I think Guyer put up big enough numbers in AA to be usable in 2011.

The rotation shouldn't require much tinkering. Four MLB guys, they should get decent projections with everyone but Garcia pitching more than 195 innings in 2010. Hopefully better than the projected 4.63, 4.87, 4.75, 4.20 ERA's from 2010. Beltre is listed in the 5 hole right now, as his sim should be usable and I like to skip the fifth starter so he gets the nod over Beachy who should have a better sim.

The bullpen now looks set as well. Hanrahan at closer, Peralta at RHSU, and Reynolds at LHSU. Pestano got a cup of coffee in Sept an was really tough on RHH and Doug Slaten was just acquired via waivers to hold down the second lefty spot. I expect Beachy to log enough innings as the long man to be more valuable than he would be getting 20 starts in the rotation.
