THE LINE UP...

I posted this under the MEET MILTON post, but I thought it'd be interesting to flesh out our line-up cards under one thread, now that MB's here. Here's my plan again:\r\n\r\na proper old school line-up, going from last years numbers.\r\n\r\nTHERIOT ss (R)\r\nFUKUDOME/JOHNSON cf (L/R)\r\nSORIANO lf (R)\r\nRAMIREZ 3b (R)\r\nBRADLEY rf (L/R)\r\nSOTO c (R)\r\nD-LEE 1b (R)\r\nFONTENOT/MILES 2b (L/L/R)\r\nZAMBRANO p (L/R)\r\n\r\nOver the long haul of the season Theriot and Johnson will prove to be the best in-house leadoff options. Sorry, but soriano has to grin and bear it. He's got to adjust. Besides, he'll see more fastballs in the 3-hole in front of Ramirez, turning him into an RBI machine. All those long fly-outs might actually generate some sacrifice runs. Having Fontenot and Miles in the 8-hole provides good consistent hitting for RBIs if there's men on, or can restart the line-up to begin an inning, using the pitcher to sacrifice them over. On paper, it really has everything: above-average speed, good plate discipline, and a power surge 3 through 6. Also, you can flip the 2 and 7 holes in this line-up depending on who's hot, LEE or FUKUDOME/JOHNSON. \r\n\r\n
