sunofgold Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Well we battled in the ninth. Brought the tying run up to the plate and kept it interesting. Just wasn't meant to be. Â Didn't like the pitching changes, but we also only scored two runs. Thus, a team loss. Cannot win them all, try again tomorrow against the O's. Humber's debut.

Which teams have the "perfect" line-up that you're talking about, not named the Tigers, Angels, Yankees or Rangers?  Did you really expect us to be competing with those teams coming into 2012?  Have you watched the Mariners, A's or Twins play this season? The Indians before this series in KC? The Cubs? The Marlins?  Which teams do you support with your hard-earned money?   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Side Fireworks Man Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 15, 2012 -> 04:05 PM) I think Ramirez should bat 2nd, as I think he won't let batting 2nd impact his approach. I thought from day one Morel batting 2nd was just a recipe for disaster. Either bat Ramirez or Escobar second. Morel should bat ninth. Maybe Morel can hit like he did late last season batting low in the lineup. Â Beckham should be in the minors working on his swing. If he can't get his old swing back, I still think he has a career as an excellent utility infielder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunofgold Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 To their credit, Morel and Beckham play excellent defense. They just need to have some better ABs and be average hitters. Just average! lol! Â For some reason, I feel more confident that Morel can break out of his slump than Beckham. There really is no answer for the #2 slot. Morel at least can bunt (I think...lol). I know that Beckham cannot bunt. Â Maybe the answer eventually will be bench Beckham (make him your utility player) and start Escobar and/or Lillibridge and try one of them in the 2nd spot. No guarantee that works but you have to try something. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Escobar is definitely not the long-term solution, based on his 666 minor league OPS. Lillibridge MIGHT be, although the odds are he's better off as a limited-exposure, super utility player in the Pablo Ozuna/Craig Grebeck/Joe McEwing mold.
