Dam8610 Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jun 4, 2005 -> 12:38 AM) Rowand has been killing the ball while batting third this season. He now has a .284 AVG with a .343 OBP. Do you keep him batting third and bat Frank cleanup a la the Maggs/Frank duo of last season? In a word: yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHAFTR Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 I like Podsednik Iguchi Thomas Konerko Rowand Dye Pierzynski Crede Uribe Thomas should be 3rd b/c of his high OBP. Also, I really like this idea of Dye learning to play 1st for next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 This is a good problem to have. I'm kinda torn. Part of me says Frank should bat 3rd because he's always hit 3rd and has that sick obp. Then I look at how Rowand seems to excel as the 3 hitter. Tough one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBlackSox8 Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 basically everyone here goes with Rowand in the 3 hole. But what does Ozzie go with, Cuz I know he'll f*** up the good thing of Rowand batting third then Frank....by putting Rowand 6 or 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beck72 Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 QUOTE(SHAFTR @ Jun 4, 2005 -> 08:16 AM) I like Podsednik Iguchi Thomas Konerko Rowand Dye Pierzynski Crede Uribe Thomas should be 3rd b/c of his high OBP. Also, I really like this idea of Dye learning to play 1st for next year. I like that lineup as well. Except Crede should be 9th and Uribe 8th. Frank's high OBP should be at #3. He'll give PK and Rowand RBI opportunities there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beck72 Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 Frank will be in the #3 spot. Only 9 games ago, Rowand was at .261/.320/.391. He's caugth fire the last week. Yet Everett and Frank [for 1 game] were in the #3 spot for most of his hot streak, Rowand only hitting 3rd the last 3 games. The sox should go with Frank's high OBP and SLG [which can be over .400 and close to .600 respectively when healthy]. Aaron's .484 slg in the 3rd spot won't cut it.

nitetrain8601 Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 QUOTE(SHAFTR @ Jun 4, 2005 -> 02:16 AM) I like Podsednik Iguchi Thomas Konerko Rowand Dye Pierzynski Crede Uribe Thomas should be 3rd b/c of his high OBP. Also, I really like this idea of Dye learning to play 1st for next year. I don't like this lineup. Thomas and Konerko = GDP record. I like ARow at the 4, but I could see why he would be a 3. Konerko should be behind Dye right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev211 Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 (edited) Hopefully ozzie is smart and plays frank today so we can find out the new lineup! Edited June 4, 2005 by ScottPodRulez22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 1. Podzilla 2. Iguchi 3. Thomas 4. Rowand 5. Dye 6. Konerko 7. AJ 8. Uribe 9. Crede I know not the best power from the four hole, but when you have 4 guys like that who can get on base.... And although it would never happen, I would drop Konerko in the line-up. Dye is more of a complete hitter as of now and Konerko with all power may be best suited for that 6 hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUGGERNAUT Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 You've only got 2 LHB in the lineup. Everett is like 1/2 a LHB. I don't like Crede at #9 because he offers nothing for Pods. Uribe will get Pods better pitches so I like Uribe at #9. For me a linuep is all about who's going to help who else the most. Uribe(9), Pods(1), Guch(2), Thomas/Everett(3) Uribe benefits from Pods, Pods benefits from Guch, & Guch benefits from Thomas. No easy outs there & they all should see good pitches. Rowand(4), Koney(5), Dye(6), AJ(7), Crede(8) You don't get much room to manuever here. You can't have the two slowest guys go b-2-b (Koney, AJ). Koney is more likely to hit a GB than a FB so you need some speed hitting ahead of him. You can use Rowand in a hit & run sit but not Thomas/Everett. Crede is a hole and can't be helped so put him at 8th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
