The converse of that being: 2B Weeks CF FA (Cameron?) LF Braun 1B Gamel RF Hart 3B Hall? C FA (Kendall?) SS Escobar Cain, Gallardo, Parra, Suppan, Bush, with the chance of a FA and another shaky pen. I don't think that makes them better in '09. I'd really doubt that team contends for the playoffs without someone like Gamel having a Pujolsian transition to MLB, or something like Cain and Gallardo picking up where they left off plus Parra turning into 2007 Rich Hill.
