well, now if he could somehow NOT pencil in a SS - not named Keppinger - into the 2 hole, this might actually look like a Major League Lineup.

I mean seriously, you have 2 guys from the minors come up to play SS, and they are put into the 2 hole?!?!? To what, strike-out and hit .240. YES, that is an improvement over Corey Patterson, but COME ON.

I see no benefit - other than to have 2 crappy hitters in a row at the end of the lineup - but it's better than having 2 crappy hitters in a row at the TOP OF THE LINEUP!?!?!

Votto
Bruce
BP
Dunn
EE
Patterson
Ross
Cabrera

put your light-hitting SS 8th - not 2nd!! UGH!!

PEACE

They won't hit as many home runs as Dunn, but they should have similar OPS. - 757690, July 22, 2008 Alonso will be playing 1B for the REDS and batting 4th one year from today. - Kingspoint, July 9, 2009
