Has anyone heard what tonight's lineup will look like against the pinstripers? Just a guess, but I'd have CF - Hopper, RF - Bruce, DH - Griffey, 2B - Phillips, LF - Dunn, 3B - Encarnacion, 1B - Votto, SS - Cabrera, C - Bako. What do you think?
is that what YOU would have? or are you guessing that's what Busty is doing? The major flaws in this lineup is that Griffey is hitting 3rd and Votto 7th. If anything, those should be swapped. My lineup with this group would be (assuming Kepp is not back):
CF - Hopper
2B - Phillips
RF - Bruce
LF - Dunn
1B - Votto
3B - EE
DH - Griffey
C - Ross
SS - Janish
I think there's a lot of potential at the top to set up the middle in this lineup. If Hopper gets on, steal or bunt to avoid the patented BP DP's. Could even swap the two, but Hopper has a better chance to get on with his push bunt.
Yeah, it's starting to get pretty pathetic in Reds nation. I am tired of losing. When is the fire sale coming? Can we leave some guys with the Yankees? They have money right?
