Ongoing Lineup Thread, 2012

[CA-ORIOLE]

My guess is that if it was a lefty pitching, Reimold would be in there.

Maybe, but Reimold hits LHP worse than RHP and Chavez hits LHP better than RHP. I'm guessing Buck is being cautious.

Yeah ...Sucks IMO Orioles get a guys red hot and they need to sit him on the bench.

He had a leg cramp yesterday, otherwise he would have been in the lineup. Probably giving him another day with the same issue.

Odd. No problems with the four OFer lineup, but I'd swap Chavez and Davis in the order.

Agreed, maybe even swap Andino and Chavez.

It seems like we have 2 groups of hot hitters - david, andino, reimold and then jones/wieters. between them the guys are struggling, leading to a ton of killed ralllies

After a lot of thought, here is my ideal lineup:

Reimold (LF)
Markakis (RF)
Jones (CF)
Wieters (C)
Hardy (SS)
Reynolds (DH)
Betemit (3B)
Davis (1B)
Andino (2B)

I think it is still important that we separate Davis and Reynolds. Obviously we are going to have an issue with our defense at 3B, so we kind of have to bite the bullet with either Reynolds or Betemit. I also think both Markakis and Hardy are much better suited in the 2 and 5 hole respectively, and I like the protection that Hardy provides Wieters much more than that of Nick Johnson.

I guess Nick is getting a rest from RF for his abdomen? Chavez in the 6-spot doesn't make a lot of sense to me either.

This is what I would go with, which makes you a very wise man.

That is a pretty rough lineup. Which means they may score 10 runs!

Looks like Buck is content with 2 out of 4 in Chicago.

Not sure why Chavez is getting so much playing time? I guess he's the new Pie...keep throwing the 4th outfielder out there for no good reason.
