southsider2k5 Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 It seems to be there are some differing opinions on who will hit #2. It seems about halfway split between Rowand or Uribe. I'd be curious to hear which player should hit #2 and why, and also if anyone else thinks Willie would be a good fit at the #2 slot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be curious to hear which player should hit #2 and why, and also if anyone else thinks Willie would be a good fit at the #2 slot? As of right now it has to be arow. Aaron gets on base far more then Uribe and is a far better fit for that 2 hole, jmo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomsonmi Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 The #2 guy should be a great situational hitter with excellent bat control. Uribe is a good offensive weapon and proved to be a fairly clutch hitter last year but I don't think his skills fit the #2 spot. Willie should be this guy but he's probably not ready. Until Willie's ready, I'd put Rowand here with Frank, Konerko, and Dye batting 3-5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JimH Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Who handles the bat best, is less prone to slumps, and doesn't overswing? Rowand. Uribe will have enough pressure on him being the starting SS on a supposed contending team. Let him hit #6-7 where he's more protected.

Winning Ugly Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 As it stands now, I can envision: Pods Rowand Dye Konerko Thomas Everett Uribe Davis Harris If Frank isn't ready by opening day: Pods Rowand Dye Konerko Everett Gload Uribe Davis Harris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When frank is healthy I'm fairly confident the lineup will be: Spod arow frank pauly dye uribe crede davis harris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Frank will almost certainly be hitting number 3, since that's his preference. If not, then clean-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everett will DH while Frank is out and sub liberally for all three outfielders in order to get a lefty bat in the lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilJester99 Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Pods Uribe Dye Konerko Everett Rowand Crede Davis Harris I think this line up would give speed and versatility on the top and bottom of the order plus enough pop in the middle of it.

Jester, why do you think Uribe is better suited for the 2 hole over arow?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilJester99 Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 To tell you the truth Uribe and Rowand seem about the same to me. Neither really walk but both have speed and power. I think Uribe bunts alittle better than Rowand does...but not by enough to matter. I think those 2 can be switched either way really but I think Rowand makes the bottom of the order a little stronger because of having men on base Rowand seemed to be pretty clutch...IIRC. Its just my thoughts though without really checking all the stats in the world on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greasywheels121 Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 A-Row seems like he could be a better guy for the middle of the lineup...I like Uribe at the #2 spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
