Happy birthday, Brandon Phillips!

[RichRed]

One of Wayne K's prize acquisitions so far turns 25 today.

Let's celebrate with a big game out of BP tonight. Maybe give Richie the night off and put Phillips in the cleanup spot.

(Sorry, couldn't resist). ;)

I'm guessing Freel replaces Aurilia in the lineup tonight, probably will look something like this:

Freel
Lopez
Griffey
Dunn
Hatteberg
Kearns
Phillips
LaRue (seems to play more when Harang goes)
Harang

And yes, happy birthday to Brandon!

For what it's worth, here's the lineup I'd trot out there tonight:

Freel
Phillips
Dunn
Griffey
Hatteberg
Lopez
Kearns
Ross
Harang

Aurilia needs to get his ____ together a bit before I'd run him out there again.

You've gotta keep him in there strictly because of his defense/cannon arm.

I transposed Aurilia and Kearns in my original thoughts. Fixed it now.

It's a RHP on the hill tonight for the Royals so Aurilia has to stay in the lineup and hit cleanup.

I think Narron has enough sense to give him the day off today vs. a RH and Freel just had a day off.

He just turned 25, which makes the Indians look ever more stupid for trading him.
