CapeFish Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Here is the lineup for me 1) Pierre 2) Castillo 3) Cabrera 4) Lowell 5) Conine 6) Castro/Redmond 7) Choi 8) Gonzalez 9) Pitcher DH: Castro and he would bat in the 6 slot and Redmond bats seventh with everyone below sliding down.

geemoney Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Of the lineup we have right now, I'd hit Cabrera third as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotcorner Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 If Choi proves he can hit, maybe move him up in the order to break up all the right handed bats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapeFish Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 I like having an always-on-base-lefty-with-some-power in the bottom, gives you a change from the 4-5-6 hitters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rferry Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 I don't know where Conine should it. He runs the count and gets on base a lot so higher in the order makes sense. But he's a great bad ball hitter and might do better behind our sluggers. And he's a feared enough hitter to give the batter in front of him fastballs, so maybe behind Cabrera or Choi. Maybe something like this: Pierre Castillo Conine/Choi - give Choi every chance to succeed. Our three lefties all clumped together may be a problem, but Pierre and Castillo hit lefties better. Miggy/Lowell - even with Lowell behind him he's not going to see many fastballs. That's fine. He can't pitches in the dirt and at his eyes into the seats. I'm sure he has speed, but I'm worried about his baserunning. That's why he's in cleanup. Lowell/Miggy Conine/Choi Benito - Bye bye Redmond and your $1.2M contract!

rferry Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 and gets on base a lot .338 OBP is hardly "getting on base alot." 22 walks in 144 Marlin at bats. Averaging out to 85 over a full season. .386 OBP in his last full season. Also hes's been among the league leaders in pitches per plate appearance throughout his career, including last year. What hurt his OBP last year was a bad batting average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets Go Cubs Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 cuz they dont have a true lead of hitter. thats why i wish Hendry would have offered Castillo more money! Grudz is the closest they have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conine has a great eye and can easily put up a .380 OBP if he hits safely enough to bat .280-300 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
