I think he stated that Bautista will stay second.

Gibby said he likes Bautista and EE at 2nd and 3rd and 100% Reyes will lead off.

That means, more likely than not, Melky will be somewhere in the middle of the lineup.

(SS) Reyes (s)

(LF) Melky (s)

(1B/DH) EE ®

(1B/DH) Lind (l)

Time to put Bautista in a RBI position and give Lind some protection as well......and Edwin should be batting 3rd now

Where? Link?

 

Honestly, I'm not sure. I remember hearing it somewhere. He should stay second, though.

This man just suggested batting Izturis second.

 

Get this guy a manual.

I don't think Melky should be anywhere near the top...The guy has an OPS under .700 and is struggling hard lately. 5th is perfect for him.

 

Ideally we'd have Lind batting 2nd, Edwin 3rd, and JB cleaning up. Imagine the possibilities!

Yes! Somebody said, probably Gibbons, Bautista will stay second & Cabrera will bat 5th.

Gibbons said they were leaning this way on Baseball Central, but nothing's been decided yet. This is the way they'll go, make no mistake about it.

Lineup importance goes 2,4,1,5,3,6,7,8,9 as far as optimization is concerned.

 

I can see that. A lot of the times to start the game the 3 hitter will come up with nobody on and 2 out. However, with guys like Reyes and Lind setting the table, how often will that be really? I cringe at the the thought of Rasmus striking out or hitting into a DP with one or both of those guys on.

Has to be

 

1. Reyes

2. Bautista

3. EE

4. Lind

5. Cabrera

6. Rasmus

7. J.P.

8. Platoon

9. Platoon

 

With Lind hitting the way he is we can keep Bautista hitting two to get him the most at bats possible. IMO everybody has protection in the top five and with Rasmus/J.P. behind Cabrera he will get pitches to hit as they are both dangerous home run hitters. If the bottom of the lineup can get OB we have a very dangerous lineup which gets so much better when Lawrie comes back and hits 8.

I heard Gibby say it as well in an interview.

It's all just nitpicking though, differences in lineups like this can be only like .1 or less runs per game.

 

It's about 1 win a season, so 10 runs, so .06 runs a game, I think. I read a solid article, it's much more important that you don't do stupid s*** like batting Zack Cozart second, than it is that you do the right thing and bat Joey Votto 2nd.

 

Eliminating Stupidity is Easier than Creating Brilliance

 

So as long as Bonifacio isn't hitting 2nd we're fine lol.

Gibby's lineup with Reyes back:

That lineup looks so much more potent with Reyes in there

 

A very sweet 1-4... I'd prefer Rasmus 5th personally but there are other nits to pick...
