    Just for kicks, what do you think the team will look like in 5 years time? What will the lineup look like? The bullpen? The starting rotation? What minor leaguers will be busts? I'll post mine later. I just thought that this could be fun. :blink:

    Well right now it's kinda looking like:

    C Shoppach
    1B West
    2B Youkillis/Spann
    3B Youkillis/Spann
    SS Hanley Ramirez
    LF Manny Ramirez
    CF Matt Murton
    RF Trot Nixon
    SP Abe Alvarez
    SP Jon Lester
    SP BH Kim
    SP Bronson Arroyo
    SP Charlie Zink?
    CP Anastacio Martinez

    Now of course there will be free agent signing and trades and all that but pretty much just used the players we have in our organization now.
    Baseball isn't life and death but the Red Sox are.

    David Murphy could be added to that, and maybe the draft pick this year

    I dont see Trot being on the team in 5 years. I would like to think that Nomar would be here though.

    :lol: And I HIGHLY doubt that the entire team would be made up of current Red Sox farm hands. I bet we'll have some current huge name star who is only bound to get better, a la Carlos Beltran or Albert Pujols. (can you imagine Pujols on the sox&#33

    If nothing changes in the prospect and free agent department (HUGELY unlikely), the team will look like this:

    C- Shoppach
    1B- West
    2B- Luis Soto
    SS- Hanley
    3B- Youkilis
    LF- Murton
    CF- Murphy
    RF- Trot
    DH- Manny

    Alvarez
    Lester
    Delcarmen
    Gamble
    Cedeno

    Anastacio Martinez

    So pretty, much, that's the All-Prospect Team with Trot in RF and Manny at DH. That has about a 0.01% chance of happening. I think the only ones who will have any sticking power in Boston are Shoppach, the Bash Brothers (the inseperable Murphy and Murton, who I think have the best chance), Alvarez and Manny Delcarmen (a Boston native, might I add). That list could quickly change if Manny D. doesn't recover from TJ surgery, Varitek is re-signed and Shoppach is shipped out or any of those boys don't live up to potential.

    With the free agent market the way it is, and contract disputes and greedy agents.. there's absolutely no way the team can be predicted 5 years from now.

    but the yankees team can.
    C- Posada
    1b- Giambi
    2b- Vidro
    3b- Gay-rod
    SS- Jeter
    OF- Matsui
    OF- Beltran
    OF- Sheffield

    SP- Mussina
    SP- Vazquez
    SP- Hudson
    SP- Colon
    SP- Milwood
    RP- Riviera

    Not sure about the contracts of millwood and colon but theyll somehow find theyre way on the yankees

    That Yankee team would be so old, I don't think they could compete. Murphy needs to start hitting some homeruns 0 so far.

    I'd like to hear what Theo has to say about this. I heard on WEEI last week that Theo has such a keen mind that he pretty much knows how the team will look in 2008.

    Come on Theo.......join the damn site.

    It's tough enough to predict who's going to be on the team in 5 months let alone 5 years. Here's my stab at it. Laugh away...

    C - Kelly Shoppach
    1B - Erubiel Durazo
    2B - Junior Spivey
    SS - Ceasar Crespo
    3B - Kevin Youkilis
    LF - Magglio Ordonez
    CF - Carlos Beltran
    RF - Rocco Baldelli
    DH - Manny Ramirez

    1- Barry Zito
    2- Tim Wakefield
    3- Sidney Ponson
    4- Charlie Zink
    5- Johan Santana

    CL- Bronson Arroyo

    Sox send Hanley Ramirez to Seattle and Pedro to Oakland
    Seattle sends Jolbert Cabrerra to Oakland
    Oakland sends Zito and Durazo to Sox

    Wow, I'm a dreamer.
