who is really out there that 1. can play cf'er and/or 2. can lead off?

 

1. ?

2. valetin

3. frank or mags

4. mags or frank

5. clee

6. paulie

7. crede

8. jimmenez

9. olivo

2 things come to mind..

 

#1- no way Carlos Lee bats ahead of Konerko in the lineup

 

#2- no way Jimenez hits 8th in the lineup. Rowand will be our opening day CF, making the lineup look like

 

 

1. Jimenez-2B

2. Valentin-SS

3. Ordonez-RF

4. Thomas-DH

5. Konerko-1B

6. Lee-LF

7. Crede-3B

8. Rowand-CF

9. Alomar/Olivo-C

Thomas will either bat 3rd or 5th, but not 4th.

Jiminez is more than likely your lead-off.

Jimenez will leadoff. As far as centerfielders go, Jose Cruz and Orlando Palmerio are about the only options out there.

 

I like the idea of signing Pudge and then going with this lineup

 

Jimenez

Pudge

Thomas

Ordonez

Konerko

Caballo

Manos

Crede

Rowand/Harris
