The way they were--five months ago
The 2010 season started five months ago tomorrow and check out the opening day lineup.
Alex Cora SS
Luis Castillo 2B
David Wright 3B
Mike Jacobs 1B
Jason Bay LF
Gary Matthews Jr CF
Jeff Francoeur RF
Rod Barajas C
Johan Santana P
Cora, Jacobs, Matthews and Barajas are gone. Bay is on the DL. Castillo and Francoeur are probably on the way out, so Wright and (a healthy) Bay are the only players likely to be in the lineup on Opening Day 2011.
Notice we didn't include Santana. Who knows what will transpire over the next seven months.
