lol, Womack should perform better than boone for sure.
nah, I just forgot about Boone. I'll put him behind Figgins. So do you think Boone will get injured and sit out the whole year? Or is he actually worse than womack?
1. If Reyes actually manages to somehow stay healthy, he will outperform Vidro, Boone & Loretta, IMO. 2. Cuddyer belongs somewhere on these lists.
I agree. I forgot about Cuddyer. I would rank him just after Walker on my list.
Reyes could be more valuable than those guys you mentioned - as could Figgins. The reason they are ranked lower is due to the uncertainty they represent - the list isnt a reflection of upside ceiling. Both of them have enormous upsides because of their speed.

Welcome to the cafe Rajah
The Nats might really suprise you this yr - they have a little pop in their lineup between Guillen, Wilkerson, Johnson, and Vidro.

agree, the nats offense will be much improved over last year, not that that is reall too hard though.
one thing to watch though, is vidro is having an mri today.
Does this mean that you are somewhat high on Nick Johnson or at least think he'll stay healthy? Off-topic, but any thoughts on Larry Broadway being in the lineup by year end?

No - Im not high on Johnson this yr at all - a marginal WW 1B at most. But I am high on Guillen and especially Wilkerson. Johnson could suprise me however.
CBM, while I don't necessarily disagree with you about Miles, I'm not sure Walker and the others are that much better than him. I think when you're at the bottom of the barrel like that, you go on potential.
I agree, after Durham, I'd probably stick Utley based on potential, but after that it's a crapshoot. Womack maybe next for runs (even at the bottom of the yanks lineup he'll score plenty with Jeter, Arod Sheff knocking him in) and stolen bases.
