2009 Lineup

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.

Re: 2009 Lineup

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.

Re: 2009 Lineup

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.

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.
