If he doesn't have a big season in 2010, the team might let him walk, in which case that Morgan-Burnett trade looks a lot worse (not that I miss Burnett). <br /><br /><br />Obviously Alvarez and Tabata will be here in 2010 barring the Apocalypse, but while I certainly agree with you that a sudden influx of homegrown minor league talent is on the horizon, I think your ETA is a bit optimistic. I'm thinking 2012-2013 before they really land on our roster en masse. <br /><br /><br />I definitely agree that at least one of our current starting pitchers is on the way out(likely Duke to the Dodgers or Rangers), and that Doumit's days are numbered. However, I think Doumit is more likely to go next offseason or at the halfway point in 2011, as Sanchez likely won't be ready until late 2011 or (more probably) 2012. <br /><br /><br />Regardless, it's good to see more talent coming up than this team has had since the early 90s.WilliamJPellashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12774466220683142262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6207200414495313452.post-66961202704586337042010-03-09T06:12:58.637-05:002010-03-09T06:12:58.637-05:00Alvarez-Tabata-Marte-d'Arnauld-Cunningham-Merc...Alvarez-Tabata-Marte-d'Arnauld-Cunningham-Mercer-Sanchez (maybe Jones or Clement hold first base) are all knocking. I still think Doumit and at least a starter are going. Milledge and LaRoche have a chance to stick, too, Will, but I still think it's very much a transitional teamRon Ieracihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08784507810080514099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6207200414495313452.post-62752444327321093152010-03-08T21:45:14.086-05:002010-03-08T21:45:14.086-05:00Wow, Ron.

No matter what the suits say, they're still in transition; Andrew McCutchen could be the only starter left standing by 2012.Ron Ieracihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08784507810080514099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6207200414495313452.post-47336534215034297002010-03-08T08:57:50.784-05:002010-03-08T08:57:50.784-05:00another spring of eternal optimism with our battli...another spring of eternal optimism with our battlin buccs. had to believe they will not lose 100 games in spiet of managements propaganda of "committment to sustained excellence" chuck finders blog last thurs.
