August 18, 200521 yr Today, Thursday, Cab's at 3rd (with Perry Hill's approval). And Niner in left. (Delgado and LoDuca in.) Tomorrow, Cab's at 3rd, Aguila in right, Niner in left. (Delgado and LoDuca in.) Saturday, Lowell at 3rd, Cab's in left, Enc in right, Niner at 1st. (LoDuca in.) Sunday, same line-up but Enc in CF, Aguila in right, Delgado at first. (Treanor catches.) Monday, Opening Day line-up.
August 18, 200521 yr No argument with your creativity but my guess would be if Jack makes the BIG move, Cabrera to third, it's going to be for at least a week, if for no other reason than to get the kid a chance to gain a comfort level with the position. If my theory holds true, you may very well see Jack platooning the three outfield positions, especially if he has the chance to give Delgado a few innings rest by playing Conine at first as a defensive replacement late. You very well may see scenarios like Conine from left to first, Aguila to left, etc., or perhaps Encarnacion spelling JP in centerfield if JP is having a bad night at the plate and Aguila moving to right for the last few innings.
August 18, 200521 yr Author Funny. All the times I've suggested moving Cab's to 3B "with Perry Hill's approval," no one has queried. IMO Perry Hill's decision of whether Cab's is ready for 3B is the only opinion I respect.
August 18, 200521 yr Look for Conine to float for the rest of the week giving our guys a rest at his 3 positions. I don't know about Lowell sitting for Cabrera. Yes, it should happen, but it's come this far, so I doubt it happens.
August 18, 200521 yr Give Aguila a shot in center and leave Enc in right, if for some unforseen reason we do move JP in the offseason(which has been mentioned by sevearl people here) Aguila is the guy there. Might as well see what he got.

August 18, 200521 yr Interesting idea but dont think it'll happen. I don't see Cabs playing third unless Lowell is traded or on the DL
