Lineup ideas

Given what the Phillies have right now, what lineup do you trot out there on Opening Day 2007? Here's what it'd probably be:
  1. Rollins
  2. Victorino
  3. Utley
  4. Howard
  5. Burrell
  6. Rowand
  7. Coste/Ruiz
  8. Nunez
  9. pitcher
I'd much prefer:
  1. Victorino
  2. Rollins
  3. Utley
  4. Howard
  5. 3B received by trading Ryan Madson and Gavin Floyd
  6. Burrell
  7. Rowand
  8. Coste/Ruiz/Estrada
  9. pitcher
Let's hear your lineups. What 3B makes the most sense? Any chance of getting good value in return for Burrell, or, for that matter, Madson and Floyd?

I'm with you about getting a legitimate offensive threat for third base. I really don't think ANYONE will want Burrell, and that's okay with me, since there is actually a chance for him to break out of whatever deep personal funk he is in and be the hitter we all know he is capable of being. Madson COULD get us something - and Gavin Floyd is a mystery that some team might take a chance on - he could turn out to be someone's Cole Hamels. But, oh man, do we need a stud pitcher we can believe in. We have Jamie Moyer - would that we could turn back the clock about six years.

Glad you're doing this.

When are you going to post your "tribute to Ryan Howard"?
