I like switching up the lineup, trying to make something happen.

I wouldn't mind switching hitting Duncan cleanup, they might have to eventually.

1. Skip
2. Edmonds
3. Pujols
4. Duncan
5. Rolen
6. Kennedy
7. Molina
8. Eckstein

We should give this lineup a shot.

I mean our offensive production has been so bad I wouldn't even mind seeing this:
1. Kennedy (maybe he'll get some much needed confidence hitting first.)
2. Edmonds
3. Pujols
4. Duncan
5. Rolen
6. Speez
7. Molina
8. Eckstein

For some reason I really like the idea that Eckstein isn't in the one slot anymore.

I'd still rather keep Duncan #2 and Edmonds at #4 or #5. I don't think Baby Dunc is ready to be the rbi guy, and I think Jimmy will come around.

I think that Edmonds's power will continue to drop (simply due to age); his patience and discipline, however, isn't going anywhere. That's why I think it makes sense to try out Edmonds in the #2 hole (OBP guy in front of Pujols), and Duncan in the #5 hole. I don't think we're gonna see something much lower than a .800 OPS out of Duncan this year, and that's what I was expecting out of Jimmy, so it makes sense to me...

Lol, Skip starts the game with a pop out.

[planet planet]

GK, can you post in this thread with your sig from thrill?

[Michael]

over\under on the runs we score? I put it at 2.

[JCShutout]

I'm hopeful. Over. (Not that I expect more than 3 though).

[planet planet]

Let's see if Duncan's D will cost us this run.

[Michael]

Oh God Duncan.

Brewer announces said he broke in on the ball, is that what Al is saying?

He broke in on the ball. Horrible D by Duncan.


His new nickname should be Dr. Strangeglove.

Nice work with the dangerous Fielder, Loop
