July 2, 200521 yr Pierre Castillo Cabrera Delgado Encarnacion Easley Gonzalez Treanor Moehler Reyes Cameron Beltran Floyd Piazza Anderson Wright Offerman Benson
July 2, 200521 yr When it was working, I LOVED the pierre/castillo combo at the top of the order....but I must say this past year I'm not the biggest fan. Pierre has started to come around the past few weeks, so maybe they'll start to wreak havoc like they used to...but I really wouldn't mind putting Easley in the 2-hole (when he plays) behind Castillo, with Pierre in the 8th slot.
July 2, 200521 yr Lowell needed to sit for awhile, but today's lineup is worse than last night. Offensively, what we gain with Easley over Lowell, we lose right back with Treanor instead of Duca. Defensively, we're weaker at 2 positions.
July 2, 200521 yr for a second I thought Willingham might get some PT Jack: "who is Willingham" 836555[/snapback] I don't think you want to start the kid up in Muttville. Better he gets next week's start with Moehller or Olsen pitching back in the cozy confines, in front of 10000 faithful.

July 2, 200521 yr Matt Treanor sighting! I'm not even sure if he knew he was still on the team. When he pinch hit in the game on Weds. I bet they double-checked he was still in the dugout.
July 2, 200521 yr Jack would say, "Don't worry, Jake Willingham will get some playing time eventually." And then we would have to say, "His name is Josh."

Better he gets next week's start with Moehller or Olsen pitching back in the cozy confines, in front of 10000 faithful. 836563[/snapback] who cares where he starts? 836567[/snapback] If you want him to stay in the majors you should care where he starts. Left field at Shea is a difficult field. Catching's not easy either surrounded by loudmouth new yawkaas. He's not a baby, but face it, he's defensively challenged. Also, today's pitching opponent is tougher than average. Maximize his chance of staying by playing strong on both sides from the start this season.

Maximize his chance of staying by playing strong on both sides from the start this season. 836655[/snapback] He's only going to be successful if he gets regular playing time, and he's no more defensively challenged than Cabrera out in left. Except Cabs may have a better arm.

If Willy muffs a couple, McKeon sends him back down.
