If you were making the lineup putting the pitcher 8th..where would you put
everybody else?
I would have (assuming Cameron is healthy):
1 Weeks 2B
2 Hardy SS
3 Braun LF
4 Fielder 1B
5 Hart RF
6 Cameron CF
7 Hall 3B
8 Pitcher P
9 Kendall C
I just feel we scored more runs and had better balance in the lineup with
Hart batting behind Fielder. Fielder has never been dominate with RISP so
having Hart behind him can have a good RISP hitter be there for mop-up if
Fielder can't get them in. I don't like Hall behind Fielder cause he strikes
out way to much. I like Braun 3rd and Fielder 4th..it was the best 3-4 punch
in the second half of the year last year..why change it this year...I don't
see Braun racking up 100000 SB so far this year for the second half of the
lineup.
I also wouldn't mind Cameron 6th, Hall 7th, and Hardy 2nd. Didn't Yost say
last year he always thought Hardy was a prototypical #2 hitter? Then why bat
him late in the order this year?
The only downfall I feel about this is having Hall bat before the pitcher.
Seems like we would see a lot of 7th and 8th hitters striking out. So maybe
scrap the P in the 8 spot and put Kendall 8th and pitcher 9th.
