BP in the six hole. I like that lineup very much.

Perhaps we might shoot higher than a seventh place hitter for LF. Just please, maybe?
The reality of a full healthy lineup with a good hitting left fielder is that Phillips hits seventh or Hamilton hits seventh. Which BP might not appreciate, but he's a low .700s OPS man, and hopefully the LFer is better than that.

Good lineup, considering the circumstances. Negron should get some starts at SS, but at least it is not BP back to the old 2 or 4 hole BS.

Every team needs a Ray Oyler, Hal Lanier, Johnnie LeMaster type at SS...just to give the pitcher 2 easy spots at the bottom of the order.
Boys were 12-21 without Brandon.
Masterson is a near stiff and only a couple of Cards are hitting. The Reds should win the game.
Pirates are down by 4 vs. Braves
