Which brings up the question of who may actually be the DH in the AL parks.
1. Freel
2. Lopez
3. Dunn
4. Griffey
5. Kearns
6. Pena
7. Encarnacion
8. LaRue
?DH. Hatteberg/Valentin? -- depending on R/L opposing pitcher, but not necessarily at #9, however. If E.E. needs a rest, perhaps Aurilia plays 3B, with Encarnacion at DH sometimes. Womack doesn't make my list of the top 11 position players.
I like Freel & Lopez at the expected "base-running" slots.
Love Dunn's respectable foot speed and more than respectable OBP in front of Junior.
Fear that E.E. at # 6 or higher puts too much pressure on him, at least early in the '06 season.
