I am not sure if we had one of these threads before but I am curious where people would put Hermida in the lineup if he starts Friday night against the Mutts.

 

 

I know we shouldnt expect Hermida to be wonderful from the start but that Grand Slam was AWESOME!! Hopefully he can keep it up

2B Castillo

LF/RF Hermida

3B/LF Cabrera

1B Delgado

RF/CF Encarnacion

LF Conine / CF Pierre / 3B Lowell

C LoDuca

SS Gonzalez

Here is my Lineup

 

Pierre-CF

Castillo- 2B

Miggy- 3B

Delgado- 1B

Ency- RF

Hermida-LF

Gonzo- SS

Treanor- C

Dontrelle- P

Pierre

Castillo

Cabrera

Delgado

Gonzo

Hermida

Aguila

Treanor

Willis

 

and no, I didn't mistype, for being burried at the bottom of the batting order for so many years I think Gonzo is ready to do damage at the 5 spot and I'm also tired of Enc's lazy fielding.

 

so there you go Holly, I kinda went beyond just sticking hermida somewhere

1. Pierre - CF

2. Castillo - 2B

3. Cabrera - 3B

4. Delgado - 1B

5. Encarnacion - RF

6. Lo Duca - C

7. Hermida - LF

8. Gonzalez - SS

 

OR

 

1. Pierre

2. Hermida

3. Cabrera

4. Delgado

5. Encarnacion

6. Lo Duca

7. Castillo

8. Gonzalez

 

If Castillo were a little faster, I would bat him leadoff. I think he's a much better leadoff man than JP because he gets on base so much more. Too bad he's had so many surgeries that have slowed him down.

I think Lo Duca is back tomorrow. No more Treanor.

1. Pierre

2. Hermida

3. Cabrera

4. Delgado

5. Encarnacion

6. Lo Duca

7. Castillo

8. Gonzalez

 

 

I like that lineup.. :thumbup Luis always is paitent at the plate and it would be nice to have someone at the bottom of the order who can work the count and put the bat on the ball.

Here is my Lineup

 

Pierre-CF

Castillo- 2B

Miggy- 3B

Delgado- 1B

Ency- RF

Hermida-LF

Gonzo- SS

Treanor- C

Dontrelle- P

I figured this would be the one.

1. Pierre

2. Hermida

3. Cabrera

4. Delgado

5. Encarnacion

6. Lo Duca

7. Castillo

8. Gonzalez

I agree. :thumbup

Ideally I'd say:

 

2B Castillo

RF Hermida

3B Cabrera

1B Delgado

CF Encarnacion

LF Conine

C Lo Duca

SS Gonzalez

 

However, if Hermida starts (which I doubt he will), I'd expect something more like this:

 

CF Pierre

2B Castillo

3B Cabrera

1B Delgado

RF Encarnacion

C Lo Duca

LF Hermida

SS Gonzalez

 

If Lo Duca still isn't back, put Treanor in the 8 hole and bump Hermida and Gonzalez up a slot.

Here is my Lineup

 

Pierre-CF

Castillo- 2B

Miggy- 3B

Delgado- 1B

Ency- RF

Hermida-LF

Gonzo- SS

Treanor- C

Dontrelle- P

925221[/snapback]

925229[/snapback]

 

that if treanor plays

 

Otherwise

 

Pierre -CF

Castillo -2nd

Miggy -3B

Delgado -1B

J Enc -RF

J Hermida - LF

P LoDuca -C

Gonzo -SS

D-train -DH/P/Kick asre

Hermida needs to bat second...ideally JP will be on base and the right side of the infield will be wide open. With his patience at the plate and sweet left-handed batting Hermida is a natural in the 2 spot.

 

CF - Pierre

LF - Hermida

3B - Cabs

1B - Delgado

RF - Encarnacion

C - LoDuca

2B - Luis

SS - Gonzo

 

:thumbup

I dont think McKeon will bat Hermida 2nd.. I'll go with this lineup, and I think Dukie is ready to play

 

CF- Pierre

2B- Luis

3B- Miggy

1B- Carlos

RF- Enc

C- LoDuca

LF- Hermida

SS- Gonzo

P- Willis

I think Jack will bat Hermida 6th or 7th and see what he can do.. if he produces and walks alot then he should move him to 2nd in the lineup :thumbup

Here's what I'd do if it's Zambrano (if it's Glavine, I'd let Lowell start at third).

 

1-Pierre, CF

2-Castillo, 2B

3-Delgado, 1B

4-Cabrera, 3B

5-Hermida, RF

6-LoDuca, C

7-Conine, LF

8-Gonzalez, SS

9-Willis, P

 

Encarnacion just needs a day off, so with the off-day and then Friday, he'll be ready to go full for the rest of the week. Back to back off days may be just what Juan needs, then he's back in right and Hermida switches to left, and Juan bats 6th.

I wouldn't put Hermida 5th. Sure, he did great last night, but in all honesty you gotta go with proven guys for the 5th spot.

Hermida's a patient hitter, and statistically, the only hitter to lead off more innings that the 5-hole hitter is the leadoff man. Hermida is best suited for the 2-hole, but Luis is there, and I wouldn't move him.

 

Plus doing my suggestion goes L-R-L, making those late inning bullpen moves so interesting. :shifty

We got a winner :thumbup

Hermida will eventually be a #2 hitter- probably next year.

 

Id like him to hit 5th or 6th right now though.

Here are my two lineups

 

 

1 LH Pierre

2 S Castillo

3 LH Hermida

4 RH Cabrera

5 LH Delgado

6 RH Encarnacion

7 RH LoDuca

8 RH Gonzalez

You normally bat your best hitter third in the lineup. Miggy's our best hitter.

yea...I still like my line-ups with the L-R-L config for the 3-4-5 guys...

 

I remember a while back when C.Del was struggling, McKeon moved him to the third hole, and had Cabrera hitting cleanup.

 

IMO I'd like to see Hermida hitting in front if Cabs & Delgy...provide him some protection, and giving him the chance to drive something

I don't think pitchers want to face Miggy or Delgy

show me a lineup with both Hammer and Hermida

Face it. Willingham has lost his chance because that stupid Valdez. LoDuca is now healthy, Hermida up and Jack's setting the lineup he won't budge from down the stretch. Willingham will have to wait until next spring to get another shot.
