BY ADAM RONIS
PROJECTED LINEUP
Randy Winn (RF): At 34, tough to see him stealing 25 again.
Edgar Renteria (SS): Should bounce back and usually fares better in the NL. Goes late in drafts and is a good value.
Pablo Sandoval (3B): Is a good hitter, but very impatient. Also has limited experience. Bump up if he has catcher eligibility in your league.
Bengie Molina (C): Very consistent numbers and gets undervalued. Excellent contact hitter that should give you a solid average and RBIs.
Aaron Rowand (CF): Said last season he was overvalued coming off career year in Philadelphia. Only in NL-only leagues.
Fred Lewis (LF): A good source of speed late in drafts.
Travis Ishikawa (1B): Could be good in NL-only.
Emmanuel Burriss (2B): If he wins job, good source of steals.
PROJECTED ROTATION
RH Tim Lincecum: Excellent skills. Only concern is workload from last season. Should be very good again.
RH Matt Cain: Like him a lot. The wins haven't been there mainly to run support, but remember not to draft pitchers based on wins. He is just 24.
LH Randy Johnson: Only concern is age and health. Still gets a lot of strikeouts. A good pick in the middle rounds even if he only gets you 150-160 IP.
LH Jonathan Sanchez: Has good stuff and upside. Sill needs to improve control, but he gets a lot of strikeouts and is worth taking in the final few rounds for his upside.
LH Barry Zito: I wouldn't consider him.
PROJECTED CLOSER
RH Brian Wilson: A solid closer who goes in the middle to late rounds.
