Infield of Jones, Walker, Cedeno, Alvarez, and Doumit. it's a pretty solid lineup ... though most of the guys are going to need time to grow... But in a couple of years, If Alvarez, McCutchen, & Tabata develop as they have been, Jones keeps on getting better bit by bit, and Doumit can stay healthy, they could be good. As for their pitching, Mcdonald was actually pretty good last year for being on such a bad team. Maholm and Ohlendorf have shown they have the stuff, but just need to improve. I'm guessing Correia is going to be their #2, and Olsen a #3/4. Optimistically, if their pitching pans out, they can flirt with 500 this year. and perhaps beat it next year. good call.
