I say that Encarnacion and Hamilton will be the two players that the organization will build around. With Hatteburg picking it up he has a big chance of being traded, of course Dunn Griffey are in the trade rumors and who knows what else.
With the exception of the trade bait, I think that Hamilton, EE, Phillips, Gonzo, Freel and Ross will be back. Our outfield will hopefully be shifted up a little.

Whoa, I don't know if I would go that far. I said don't give up on him, but EE has also not shown enough yet to say he is a cornerstone for the future. The jury is simply not out yet on him.

I also think it's a little early to slap that label on Hamilton, although I have been very impressed with him so far. Just remember, he has only been in the majors a grand total of 3 1/2 months now.

Phillips, on the other hand, has definitely shown that he is a future all-star, and I agree he should be one of the cornerstones, along with Homer Bailey, Joey Votto, and Jay Bruce. I would also not trade Harang or Arroyo, we have them locked up for 3 more years at a reasonable rate.
