When i read that it i think i made that face.

 

 

Maybe it's just gas.

 

Anyway, my point was, if the top of our lineup looks something like this to start the season:

 

Pods

Arow

Dye

Paulie,

 

and we are playing Ozzieball and scoring, and winning, then we sholdn't just stick Frank back into the third spot based on his OBP numbers.

For once I'm in complete agreement with Anthrax and the others who don't like Frank batting 3rd anymore. Frank voluntarily gave up the 3 spot because he knew he is slow and said the spot belonged to Maggs. After foot surgery he probably will be even slower.

 

I guarantee when Frank is back in the lineup it will be at the 4th spot and I really think the cleanup spot belongs to Paulie. Rowand is ideal now at in the 3rd spot because he hits for average, power and has decent speed which is traditonally what teams prefer in that spot in the lineup.

It's funny. On paper, this isn't that bad. Potentially we could

have a good team with this squad, especially in my opinion if

we either replace Ben or Willie with an upgrade.

Is it up to Ozzie to make this work? These players if they have

A- or Bplus type seasons could lead us to 10-15 over .500 I believe.

We ain't gonna win any wild card so we better win the division.
