Opening Day lineup, or just maximizing Beckham's AB's?

 

I'm so ready for Beckham to be gone.

Yep. But we'll have to wait 3-4 more months, I'm pretty sure.

 

And why are we still wasting time with Axe? Enough already.

 

EDIT: cause it's divisional opponent and we don't want to show them EJohnson, who's pitching in a Minors camp game today.

I for one do not want Dunn getting more at bats than the rookies and I really don't care if they think it helps him get more pitches to see.

 

(we also just had that discussion about the lack of good evidence for impact of strong protection in the stats thread).

We're slated to have one rookie in the opening day line up and Dunn isn't playing everyday anyways.

 

I think he's just talking about young guys in general. I too am a bigger fan of Dunn fifth/sixth. Not a fan of those all or nothing kind of guys hitting third.

What do you guys think of the 3-4-5 spots for the regular season. I think going Dunn-Abreu-Garcia is the best option. Dunn 3rd will have pitchers giving him better pitches with Abreu protecting him. Garcia 5th will break up the potential group of slow guys in Abreu-Dunn-Viciedo-Gillaspie.

 

I like

 

CF Eaton

2B Beckham

DH Dunn

1B Abreu

RF Garcia

LF Viciedo

3B Gillaspie

C Flowers

SS Ramirez

 

I think we'll see

 

CF Eaton

SS Ramirez

RF Garcia

1B Abreu

DH Dunn

LF Viciedo

3B Gillaspie

C Flowers

 

 

We're identical. Well I tend to just assume Flowers last in all situations but i guess maybe i see the AR last philosophy as a little ..bunching of speed

I as well, and the concern is Abreu will be treated like an 8 hole NL hitter if Dunn starts poorly. And it may be the best config. anyway, though I'd probably flip Gordo with Lexi, on the off chance that Beckham has a good 3 month stretch in him. And perhaps put Lexi 9th and TFlow 8th.

I thought we had finally put him out to AAAA pasture in Charlotte.

I like the guy - pitches as hard as he can.

 

He isn't on the 40 man roster. He basically has zero chance at making the White Sox out of spring training. There is no need to worry about what Dylan Axelrod does unless you are Richard Dotson.
