Can we play lineup for a minute? As in, what do we think the everyday lineup will be (not should be) in April?

Is it:

Grady, DeRosa, Hafner,
Victor, Peralta, Choo,
Garko/Shoppach, Francisco, Droobs.

That’s the sense I get from Wedge’s recent comments, though I’m unsure about the order of the bottom three.
