    Blind hog theory. Fill out enough of those things you're bound to get it right once in a while.

    Ruth and Gehrig presumably hit lefties well. Both Griffey and Dunn have had troubles with them (at times) over the last few years.

    I like A RH hitter between them too, so I put Dunn 2nd, and Griffey 4th.
    How about this lineup, then? (Jerry has the right personnel, just needs a few minor tweaks to the order, IMO):

    Freel cf
    Dunn lf
    Phillips 2b
    Griffey rf
    Encarnacion 3b
    Hatteberg 1b
    Gonzalez ss
    Ross c
    Lohse p



    Personally, I don't mind Griffey and Dunn back-to-back, especially the way Junior is swinging the bat. My optimum lineup would be:

    Freel cf
    Phillips 2b
    Griffey rf
    Dunn lf
    Encarnacion 3b
    Hatteberg 1b
    Gonzalez ss
    Ross c
    Lohse p
    Eric Stratton, Rush Chairman. Damn glad to meet ya.

    Glad to see Gonzo and Ross where they belong--way down in the lineup.

    I thought Lohse was sick?

    ESPN has had about an hour of coverage on whether or not Schilling should hit A-Rod and if he is a dirty player... wow, I'm sick of the Yankees/Redsox station they call ESPN...

    My friend who is a Red Sox fan calls me all the time and say "did you see that?" regarding something that just happened in the current Red Sox game and I usually have to remind him that, no, I didn't b/c I wasn't watching the Red Sox.
    School's out. What did you expect?

    That on the heels of saying Narron and Krivsky were safe and doing a good job? What did he do, threaten to fire the team?

    I hope he didn't pass around a letter telling them how proud of them he was.
    Didn't work out that well last year.

    I think Ross would be much better suited in the 5 or 6 hole....where his slugging potential could be maximized. He's OPS'd .800 for May, including 1.362 the last 8 games. Give him a bit of protection...let him see some better pitches.

    Gonzo is much better suited for the 8 spot.

    The book says catchers bat 8th..



    Johnny Bench would probably bat 8th now...

    In 1966, there was a lineup that had Pete batting 5th or 6th....that manager was fired mid-season.
