Jorge Posada 5. This is going to be a monster year for Ivan Rodriguez. He's a first round pick, arguably number one if you don't believe in drafting pitching first. If you have a weak second basemen and a weak catcher, your in trouble. Consider doing a multiple player swap to get a good one, like Ben Molina, who already doesn't walk, and therefore won't be hurt by the higher strike zone.
All systems say go.
If the Pirates can get some talent on the bottom of the order, Kendall could be the big dog as his BI will rise. He did give some playing time to Todd Pratt last season, but I'm not sure that's a sign of things to come. Look for The Mike to get 550 AB, and the OBP to drop as he may walk less than 50 times this year. That will hurt the R department. After the top 3, we get a second flight of catcher.
