Ongoing lineup thread for 2013

[Guest]

I love that Buck moved Nick down.

[Norfolk orioles]

Miggy Cabrera bats third for a reason. To get him as many at bats as possible in a game.

Davis is in that class and I hope this is a permanent move although I'm sure it won't be.

I know the "importance order" of batting in the lineup but I just simply disagree, you get your best hitter as many at bats as you can in a game.

It'll be interesting to see how we do with this lineup against gaudin.

I love that Buck moved Nick down.

I did too, but then I realize it might just be due to the fact Wieters and Roberts are not in the lineup. Wait and see if it's back to the old lineup tomorrow.

By your "logic" he should bat leadoff.

That doesn't make sense. You want men on base when your best hitter comes up.

Which you get more often with him hitting 4th then 3rd.

So which is it? You want more at bats? Hit him leadoff. You want more guys on base? Hit him fourth. You want to be wrong? Bat him third.

You compromise. Why does it have to be an extreme? 3rd is the perfect compromise.

Delgado is a RHP.

Would really like to see Henry Urrietta get a chance to play. Give Markakis a night off. It is not against the rules to use your bench on a day other than Sunday.
