Good thing Jimmy didn't make contact or else it may have been a inning ending DP

 

I was hoping for a walk, especially since it was 3-1. Then Severino realized Rollins can't hit a 97 MPH fastball up in the zone.

They don't really have a true number 2 hitter. Rollins is the best they have...maybe saladino?

 

You want good contact out of the 2 spot, Sox don't exactly have a ton of those guys. I'd say Lawrie or AJax can both work better. Lawrie Ks a bit too much for my liking in that spot, but he's been hitting pretty damn well so far. I'm much more confident in his ability to hit a fastball right down the pipe than Rollins.

Melky rarely strikes out. He has more walks than strikeouts.

He's being used to split the righties in the middle of the lineup (which I don't really care for). I think he definitely first best as the #2 hitter. Good contact, good OBP. Lawrie looks good enough to hit 5th right now.

True, but I think the way our lineup is constructed, we need Melky hitting behind Frazier. He's our 3rd best run producer. I agree with placing Ajax or Lawrie, but like I said they really don't have a true 2 hole guy.
