So, I've been digging the 2010 lineups, and would like to send a candy-coated chill pill to the geniuses who say "uhhh, you don't think the Yankees are gonna make trades b/w now and then." Yeah, no shizzle, Sherlock.  But the whole fun of it is to see what sorts of 2010 rosters current organizations have contained within their present talent pool. It was very illustrative, for instance, to see just how weak the 2010 A's are looking, at this moment, if we just consider what talent is showing itself as present (at this moment).  

Anyway, I thought it might be fun to put together a squad of players who I think will be contributors in 2010 but who may or may not have strong prospect reps right now. You know, the future Jason Bays, Brian Giles, Scott Hatteburgs, Mark Buehrles, Paul Loducas, Ryan Theriots, Chris Duncans, Marcus Thamses.

Basically, it's a list of guys I don't expect to see on teams' 2010 lineups here in the diaries that I think will be seen to be quite a bit more valuable contributors three years from now.
