hi8is Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Cool lineup! Grandal’s first game hitting in the 2 spot. All regulars except Yermin and Garcia who are in the 8/9 hole. Games on MLB Network and the MLB.tv app. Noon pst. Go Sox!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiddleCoastBias Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Lineup. Seems like we've been going either "good lineup, minor league pitcher" or "minor league lineup and established pitcher" in our outings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer Moncada 2, but if they want Grandal there and his OBP (I like Moncada there with his speed), I want Eloy 4, Moncada 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirmin' for Yermin Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 I have to imagine with the players we have now, that the only reason Grandal is at #2 today is to get him 3 at bats quicker and out of the game. He should no longer be ahead of Moncada, Robert or even Eaton for the #2 spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's exactly the kind of guy you want batting in front of Abreu and Eloy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moncada or Robert Grandal was better than both of them last year, and while one or both might be better than him this year, not by a large enough margin to justify moving that plate discipline and OBP out of the 2 hole. Bury Grandal down in the bottom third of the order and most of his walks get wasted. You shouldn't even both signing a guy with Grandal's plate discipline if you aren't going to bat him in front of your best run producers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You shouldn't even both signing a guy with Grandal's plate discipline if you aren't going to bat him in front of your best run producers. Obviously he was better last year. Moncada forgot how to baseball and Robert was a rookie. I'd much rather have a difference maker with some speed up front. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
