Gordon
Myers

Butler
Hosmer
Perez
Cain
Gio
Escobar
Greinke (just playing along)
Acquisition No. 2 (Garza, Marcum, Brandon McCarthy, etc.)
Chen
Hochevar
Mendoza/Teaford/Adcock/filler while waiting for Paulino or Duffy. They can and should actually try Crow as a starter at least in the offseason and ST, but we'll see. If Montgomery or Dwyer or Lamb is ready, they could be in the mix here, too.
Bullpen:
Crow (I don't think he'll stick as a starter)
Holland
Collins
Herrera
Coleman
leftover filler

I have just never understood why leaving Gordon at the #1? Just because he hits better there? BFD he's a major leaguer (he's not even a top 3 hitter on the team) and he's been here a while now he needs to learn to hit out of different spots in the order because this is almost becoming a liability because we could be scoring more runs w/ Escobar at leadoff and his base stealing ability. Hitting in the #2 spot shouldn't effect AG at all. We haven't had a true good leadoff man since Johnny Damon.
