July 18, 200422 yr 1. Platoon Conine (.309-3-13 in 55 AB vs LHP, .243-3-21 in 218 AB vs RHP) and Choi (.282 vs RHP, .222 vs LHP) at 1B. 2. New bat in LF - Dillon??? (.347 in AAA), or (if possible) someone in a trade 3. Keep Willingham at C (Red's batting .253, Treanor .250 - was 'clutch' against the White Sox but still getting no offensive production from the catcher position. Also, Willingham looks lost in LF) 4. Either put Nunez in LF longterm, or (this is what I'd prefer) trade him for bullpen help. He hasn't been good this year as a sub, so either see what he can do playing everyday or get rid of him. My Lineups: vs RHP: CF - Pierre 2B - Castillo 1B - Choi RF - Cabrera (.574 SLG vs RHP) 3B - Lowell (only .277 vs RHP) C - Willingham LF - Dillon SS - Gonzalez (playing well, but only .268 OBP) vs LHP: CF - Pierre 2B - Castillo 1B - Conine 3B - Lowell RF - Cabrera C - Willingham L - Dillon SS - Gonzalez worth a shot?
July 18, 200422 yr That should only happen if Dillion can learn the outfield. Otherwise, it's the best thing to do right now besides trading for Kendall.
