It's what I'd do. It's also what we'll never see for even one game in 2008.
It certainly couldn't hurt much more than nearly any of the other possibilities. Although I like the idea of protecting Bruce, I think BP has earned the right to hit higher. But more importantly BP probably feels the same way.

But here's what I would do.

CF Bruce
2B BP
LF Dunn
RF Griffey
3B EEE
1B Votto
SS Gonzo
C Ross/Javy
