I do wonder if he even plans on replacing Cedeno. Maybe that's why he wants Fontenot to re-familiarize himself with SS.
I kind of agree with ruby, that (with regards to <b>fielding</b>) our middle is gonna be a little weak:
SS-Theriot is below avg
2B-Font rated at well above avg last year, but many of you say he's not that good.
C-Soto calls a good game, relates <i>very</i> well with the pitching staff, and obviously can rake...but his actual C defense seems avg, maybe slightly above.
CF-Reed Johnson-below average. Solid, but not a great arm, and mediocre range.
CF-Fuk-we don't even really know if he can play it full-time. It's been years since he has, and he's said he doesn't like playing there. He's a damn good fielder though, with a good arm...I think he'd be slightly above avg, making the Fuk/Reed platoon about avg.
Like Rube said, I think the <i>ceiling</i> is "average."

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
