4/4/07 - Reds vs. Cubs

[Danny Serafini]

Lineup just came up on Trent's blog:

Freel
Phillips
Dunn
Encarnacion
Griffey
Conine
Gonzalez
Ross
Arroyo

Interesting that 2/3 and 4/5 get flip-flopped today.

Not fond of messing with a lineup after just one game, however I like this one much better!

Hamilton leadoff tomorrow???

I like Phillips in the 2 hole better than 3.

[Red Leader]

Looks like Jerry wanted to make the top of the lineup RH heavy vs a LHP, but still wanted to split up the LH's (Dunn/Griffey) for later in the game.

I can see the rational. Is that scary?

Perhaps it's good....

You're becoming one with Jerry...

[bucksfan2]

Why must he continue to mess with the lineup???? Just see how that opening day lineup works and go from there.

[Degenerate39]

Why not leave Dunn in the 2-spot? He did great in Opening Day at that spot. Why mess with it

[Red Leader]

You're becoming one with Jerry...

[Freddie_Free]

Hopefully tonight Ted Lilly will prove why he wasn't worth pursuing in free agency.

[Cant Touch This]

I like Phillips in the 2 hole better than 3.

I was never comfortable with BP in the three hole (even though NEVER is a strong word for just one game.) I think he is a dangerous hitter with his outstanding bat speed, but I like him in the 6 slot much better where there isn't as much pressure as hitting third. Like him better hitting 2nd than 3rd, though.

[BRM]

I actually like that lineup.
