Kip Wells is traditionally a feast for LHBs, though this year he's holding them to a .489 OPS. Before Dave Duncan I'd have considered this a stat-padding game for Hobbs, Dunn, Jr. and Hatteberg. Now I'm not so sure.

I'm not a system player. I am a system.
I can't believe people look at the Cards' lineup and see a weak lineup. By my count, there's only one automatic out in there.

Though it is doubtful, it would be nice if FoxSports gave Grande the next few days off.
why?
Narron considered batting Hatte leadoff, and won't rule it out for the future in certain cases....
Listen to the pregame...I'm not lying

If you want to get Hamilton out of the lead off spot when Freel isn't in there, Hatteberg may be the best option. He has a quality at bat almost every time, he works the pitcher, and he gets on base. Then you can drop Hamilton down in the order. It might sound crazy, but it can't get much worse.
Scott Hatteberg, the lefty leadoff version of Brian Downing?
Never overlook the obvious
The higher Hatteberg hits in the order the less pitches he sees.
It will be scary to see the lefty pen duo of Flores/ Johnson with Dunn/Griff back to back.
Lefty relief has been poison the last several years.
