doubleM23 Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 Who bats where? The best I can come up with is... 2B; Roberto Alomar SS; Jose Valentin 1B; Frank Thomas RF; Magglio Ordonez CF; Carl Everett LF; Carlos Lee DH; Brian Daubach 3B; Joe Crede C; Miguel Olivo/Sandy Alomar, Jr. Any other suggestions? Swapping Manos and Alomar would be the only other thing I can see happening... But this is JM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BridgeportHeather Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 One thing that we CANNOT do is deny Rowand playing time! He must be in there at least 1 game a week in order to keep up shape, if we want a good backup if we ever need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KipWellsFan Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 IS rowand? I thought Rowand was a pretty good CF, or at least a very hard working one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 I just am not a big Jose fan at the top of the order because his obp is low, although Everett in the 5 hole makes a lot of sense and even what ESPN had with Thomas in the 2 and Everett in the 3 hole made sense. What may make the most is Carlos in the 2 hole with Everett in the 5 hole and then go with Daubach behind him then Crede and Jose and then the catchers. But this would be a drastic change. I like Carlos more then Jose as well in the 2 hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Carlos more then Jose as well in the 2 hole. I like Jose in the 2-hole because he would see a lot more pitches to hit (fastballs) with the protection of Frank, Maggs, Carl, and Caballo. Now, in the 6-spot his protection is Crede, Rowand, and Olivo... No s*** you don't pitch to a guy who's hit 25 homers every year for the last 3 years or so when you're next three hitters have a combined like .230 average.

That's an idea to ponder about Carlos hitting in the 2-hole. He responded well when asked to hit higher in the lineup last year, so I think he could very well take on the task.

Rowand44 Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 I'm not sure but I'm guessing it's going to be one of the two: Alomar Everett Thomas Maggs Daubach Lee Jose Crede Olivo/Alomar The other one that might happen is just switching everett and frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pastime Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 I still want Willie Harris to play 3 or 4 games a week. He is not a batting title contender - and will never be - but his speed causes a lot of problems. If only he could hit .280 - man, we could have an offense to die for.

These two deals have made the sox offense so flexible, its scary. They HAVE to have one of the 3 or 4 deepest offenses in baseball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastime Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 I know he's struggling once in a while, but now you can AFFORD to have a guy finding his way in your lineup. I like Daubach a LOT, but I would play him twice a week at DH, and have Everett DH the other 5 games - with Harris in CF 5 days a week. His speed is scary. If he would only learn to swing DOWN on the ball and forget about home runs, he would give us an element in the offense I haven't seen since One Dog roamed CF. I miss One Dog.

YASNY Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 With Jiminez and Rois gone, as per rumor, this really is a workable, flexible bench. Pretty damn impressive if you stop and think about each position and who can play where. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxplosion Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 You and me think alike doub. I posted that exact same lineup in another thread... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafacosta Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 2B - Alomar (S) - That's what i love in his hitting... SS - Jose (S) 1B - Frank ® RF - Maggs ® CF - Carl (S) LF - Carlos ® DH - Daubach (L) 3B - Crede ® C - Olivo/Alomar ® That is a great lineup!!! . Agst Lefties we put PK in there in the place of Daubach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
