rferry Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 2B Castillo CF Pierre 3B Lowell RF Cabrera LF Harris SS Easley 1B Choi C Redmond P Beckett Heh... I like it. JP hits too well to get up with no one on base, and Luiy won't clog up the basepaths when he gets on. Middle of the order is short, but Easley and Harris are solid enough hitters. They aren't going to strike fear in any pitchers but they'll surprise ya. Choi might see a fastball or two. No way Oswalt is going to throw junkballs to both the 7 and 8 hitters. Too much stress on the arm for that, especially since he's coming off an injury-plagued season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CitanX Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 Ive always liked Luis at the 1 spot, even thought there was a stat last year that the majority of the starts in which luis was 1st we lost, But i think luis has always been a better leadoff man than JP because of his eye at the plate and the way he *USED* to work the count. Hope he gets better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stag5 Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 I like it. Not exactly what I said...but JP 2nd and Lowell 3rd was needed. Cabrera protected by a veteran LH Harris I like. Easley, CHoi and Redmond....a nice change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugg Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 I'm not sure I like the idea of putting a struggling guy at the top of the order, but hopefully it wakes him up, gets him going. I like the fact that we're changing it up though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTrizzle Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 I would have like to see Nunez... can't hurt to add speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishFanPR Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 I like it, finally agon and castro see some bench! I'm telling you guys, once Castillo gets going, the whole team gets going. Our offense runs through Luis and JP. Why start Harris over Abe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Das Texan Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 Castillo needs to be on the DL, not leading off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJBurnett34 Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 Ive always like Louie in the first spot also. Reminds me of the old speedy louie and plus pierre is hitting very good, maybe castillo can get on base and JP get a double or triple.

Das Texan Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 well its rather obvious he is hurt..... or he has lost his ability to get on base. one of the two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanleylicious Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 I like the change... Easley over Gonzalez is a good move tonight someone brought up a great stat last night in the game thread that compared Easley and Gonzalez Gonzalez- 4BB in 130AB Easley- 6BB in 35AB That really tells you something right there... Not to mention Easley's hitting .371 right now compared to Alex's....199-.200avg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Libelula Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 Can everyone stop kissing Nunez' ass? He's not better than Conine and right now, I'd rather start Harris. Who the hell is Nunez? Pitchers are gonna go right after him. Everyone knows who Harris is. Pinch Hit leader and then former All-Star right after him. I like it.

-Miami Fan- Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 We've had the 8-9-1 hitters due up a lot this series. We've been wasting AB from Pierre. Moving him to the 2 spot was a good move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it. haha i think most would agree that lenny harris sucks. being the "pinch hit leader" means you suck at fielding and you weren't ever good enough of a hitter to be the regular DH on any AL team over your long bench-warming career. i woulda much rather seen nunez get the start over harris.

Harris has 1000+ hits in his career Alkazoid. Sorry to burst your bubble. And he isn't DH because he doesn't have the longball potential.
