Why trade for Clement when you have Doumit?

Woudln't surprise me to see them move Doumit? Neil Huntington isn't against "shaking" things up. As we have seen. (McLouth/Morgan/LaRoche/Snell) I still think they make Clement a 1B, Pearce hasn't shown anything since his recall. Also wasn't dominating AAA either. Sure Jones is on fire now, but I doubt its going to last. He will ride out the season, but probably wont start next year. So he will fill his role that being a bench player. SOLID one at that.
BUCCO LINEUP 2010?
CF - McCutchen
2B - Young Jr. (stil think they get him from the Rockies, for Grabow)
LF - Milledge
C - Doumit
1B - Clement
RF - Moss/D.Young
3B - LaRoche
SS - Cedeno/Cruz
will pedro alvarez be ready by next year or is that just wishful thinking on my part?
Pedro got promoted two months ago to Double-A, and started out "awful" but has bounced back and had a solid last couple of weeks, Still I think his long term position might be 1B, unless he can shed some pounds, "improve foot work" and cut down on the errors. I would like to see him at the hot corner, but we shell see. As for your question, I don't see him starting the season @ PNC Park. Will be up for a September call-up in 2010 that's for sure.
Hope that helps,
