2011 and beyond...
Assuming we keep our guys in the system and don't trade any away, what will our lineup look like after these kids get to the majors? Who are the 5 pitchers and position players once we've "rebuilt" this team? Besides Saltalmacchia, Kinsler or Metcalf, i don't want to see any current names in the lineup. And besides McCarthy, i don't want to see any current names in the rotation.
I understand that this is a pipe dream and things aren't this clean cut, but what is the best team we could put on the field in 2011 using ONLY our farm system?

For example, Benoit was said to be our number one starter years ago...

Well...
But if you want strictly from the farm:
C - T. Teagarden
1B - Salty
2B - I. Kinsler
3B - C. Davis or J. Whittleman or G. Duran
SS - E. Andrus or G. Duran (Though probably M. Young still)
LF - J. Mayberry Jr.?
CF - J. Borbon or hopefully Engel Beltre but likely a shitty contract like T. Hunter.
RF - Um...yeah.
SP1 - E. Hurley
SP2 - B. McCarthy
SP3 - B. Beavan (but probably not until the year after)
SP4 - E. Volquez (or possibly pitching lights out in the pen)
SP5 - K. Kiker (Also possible future in the pen)
The odds of this happening like this though are about 0%.

I think main
Id say your 1-5 looks like this
BMAC, Hurley, Volquez, Diamond, Main/Beaven.
BMac is ahead of hurley potential wise and diamond might end up as a future setup closer type. same with kiker.
Hey but what do i now Zywica will come in here and tell us whos gonna be where and when because he follows the minors more than any of us.

Accounting for Borbon
He'll be clocking on to the night shift. Assistant Peep Show Janitor.
And where is CJ on your list? Hopefully in the rotation...

ok
I DO NOT want to see Saltalamacchia at first though! We could get more pop from first base than Salty. i think he'd be a GREAT catcher though. If we can get his pop at catcher that leaves a spot for another big bat at 1B.
I'd like to see:
C-Salty
1B-(big bat)
2B-Kinsler
3B-Davis
SS-Andrus
CF-Beltre
LF-Borbon
RF-Mayberry
1.Beavan
2.Hurley
3.McCarthy
4.Main
5.Volquez/Kiker
