My bet is Thomas, Halsey and Flores will start in Sac but probably see a lot of time in Oak with injuries.

It is tough to guess on the lineup becuase it depends on who is hot but I think we are likely to see Kendall lead off for most of the year with Kotsay batting second and Bradley batting 3-4. It seems that if Ellis can get on a hot streak and everyone stays healthy the lineup will be solid top to bottom.
