April 15, 200520 yr If Carl has to miss a few games with his injury, maybe Rowand will be put into the #3 spot. Gload could DH and bat lower in the lineup... LF Podsednik 2B Iguchi CF Rowand 1B Konerko DH Gload RF Dye C Pierzynski 3B Crede SS Uribe
April 15, 200520 yr That is where Rowand needs to be, hitting 7 in front of Crede, He is never going to get s*** to hit..

April 15, 200520 yr Author Good thing he hits 6th in front of AJ and everyone needs to layoff Joe, seriously. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Uhhh, why? Cruddy is, well, cruddy.
April 15, 200520 yr Outside of his speed, I don't see an advantage to batting Rowand #3 just yet. He hits for good average, but doesn't (yet) have the power numbers that I'd like to see in a #3 hitter. Batting him second and dropping Tad to 9th might be a decent idea. But then, Rowand doesn't draw a ton of walks either and has sort of a marginal OBP for a #2 hitter. I think I like this lineup better...

April 15, 200520 yr Author By the way, ESPN 1000 says that Everett has a bruised left scapula. He is listed as "day-to-day." I just love RotoWorld's take... Latest News Apr. 14, 2005 - 8:57 pm et Carl Everett is day-to-day with a bruised left shoulder. It'll be a little while before Everett is asked to play outfield again. He should return as a DH soon.

April 15, 200520 yr Author Forget I asked. :rolly <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think I'd rather see Brian Anderson up here if it came down to it. Let Borchard raise his trade value in the minors so we can package him and Crede for a real 3rd baseman at the trading deadline.

So he had a s***ty swing tonight but he still managed to get a hit. He is our best guy off the bench for us and would definitely be solid for us given playing time every day.

You're not going to sit there and tell me with a straight face that Gload can handle being the DH. Are you?

He is our best guy off the bench for us and would definitely be solid for us given playing time every day. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Agreed. I would have no problem with Gload as our DH. He's a good hitter that doesn't try to swing for the fences every at bat. Also, he's not any slower at running the bases than Carl is.
April 15, 200520 yr QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Apr 14, 2005 -> 09:47 PM) Jesus christ, can't we do better than Gload for a DH? He's a career .300 hitter in both the minors and the majors.

He is not good...but the entire offense is sucking ass. Lay the f*** off Joe...he is not playing well, but Konerko(.235), Dye(.219), Rowand(.229), AJP(.226), and Uribe(.192), are not helping matters either. And, as of earlier tonight, Willie Harris was out OPS'ing Rowand, Dye, and Uribe, along with Crede. Willie f***in Harris. I do not like Crede, but place blame equally...holy f***. We are 6-3, and the way some are acting on here, you'd think we were f***in 3-6.
