Re: Predict the Opening Day Lineup
Willy Taveras, CF
Alex Gonzalez, SS Joey Votto, 1B Brandon Phillips, 2B Jay Bruce, RF Edwin Encarnacion, 3B Ramon Hernandez, C Jonny Gomes, LF Aaron Harang, P I would bat Gonzalez eighth but my guess is he'll hit second.

Re: Predict the Opening Day Lineup
Anyway, my lineup prediction is this (without really knowing who is on the team):*
1 Player With Worst OBP (CF) 2 Another Bad Offensive Player (SS) 3 Most Respected Veteran 4 Respected Veteran 5 Solid Rookie To Break Up Left Handed and Right Handed Hitters 6 Best Offensive Player 7 Some Rookie 8 Whoever Is Left (probably C) 9 Pitcher *- Note, I really do know who is on the team, this is just what my guess would be based on last year if I didn't know. |

Re: Predict the Opening Day Lineup
My opening day lineup
Taveras cf Hairiston lf Votto 1b Phillips 2b Bruce rf Rosales 3b hernandez c Gonzales ss Harang p Notice who's not on third.I don't like Phillips hitting 4th but there was no alternative. I was in Kissimmee yesterday at the game against Houston almost behind home plate and Bailey was flat nasty. he had a great fastball and a kickbutt offspeed pitch which those 8 Ks will attest to.The Astros had everyone but Berkman in the lineup so it wasn't just minor leaguers he was nailing.Anyway he's one of my 5 starters so Harang and Arroyo had better get it going early. Just an opinion
