For sake of discussion, with the current Reds roster what would your lineup be this season?
vR:
Taveras CF
Dickerson LF
Votto 1B
Encarnacion 3B
Bruce RF
Hernandez C
Gonzalez SS
vL:
Taveras CF
Keppinger SS
Votto 1B
Phillips 2B
Bruce RF
Encarnacion 3B
Gomes LF
Hernandez C
I think Hairston will find his way into the lineup against lefties a lot in some fashion as well. Ideally WillyT wouldn't be leading off, but I'm not even going to bother to ask that to happen.
My roster? Do I need to be realistic (i.e. play Willy Taveras)?
I tried my best to be semi realistic. I'd have Dickerson playing CF and WillyT on the bench if it was up to me.Originally Posted by *BaseClogger*
Okay. I'll be realistic with the lineup but not the order:
vR:
LF Dickerson
3B Encarnacion
1B Votto
RF Bruce
SS Gonzalez
C Hernandez
2B Phillips
CF Taveras
vL
SS Keppinger
2B Phillips
1B Votto
3B Encarnacion
LF Gomes
C Hernandez
RF Bruce
CF Taveras
We are going to DESTROY left-handed pitching in 2009...
Why don't we assume Corey Tavaras is leading off and playing CF and Adam Dunn isn't coming back so we don't have another thread debating the pros and cons of those players.
Sorry Chip. Here's the Dustified order I expect to see on Opening Day:
vR
CF Taveras
LF Hairston
1B Votto
2B Phillips
RF Bruce
3B Encarnacion
SS Gonzalez
C Hernandez
vL
CF Taveras
SS Gonzalez
1B Votto
2B Phillips
3B Encarnacion
LF Gomes
RF Bruce
C Hernandez
I expect to see a lot of Ryan Hanigan this year.
Some people play baseball. Baseball plays Jay Bruce.
In a platoon role?
Opening Day vs. Santana(We presume)
CF Taveras
2B Phillips
1B Votto
3B Encarnacion
LF Gomes
RF Bruce
SS Gonzalez
C Hernandez
Taveras CF (sigh)
AGon SS
Votto 1B
Phillips 2B
Bruce RF
EE 3B (a crime, but I expect it)
Gomes LF
Hernandez C
P
I loathe but fully expect this to be the OD lineup.

Dubito Ergo Cogito Ergo Sum.
Are we going without a second baseman vs. right-handers?
I think Dusty has some man-love for the guy. I expect him to have 300+ PA this year.
Just a hunch.

Forgive me for not getting excited about that particular lineup.
Especially with two right-fielders.....
