a lineup that plays (in theory) almost as well backwards as it does forwards….

Wedge expresses tremendous confidence in Hafner but it is not right to leave him in the 3 hole while he is working this out and it will take a while
by palcal on May 1, 2008 6:29 PM EDT 0 recs
I just wonder…At what point does Wedge say, “OK, we’ve got a problem and it’s not going away.” And then, what does he do? Move him to 9, not play him/platoon him? Try to trade him?
It's the Arizona talking, really.

way to reward Gutz for being hot … move him from 6 to 8.
The Disabled List just called ... it was trying to unload Joe Borowski. I offered a bagel but balked at giving up a ham sandwich. It wanted to keep Westbrook.

You call it 8th .. I call it the bottom of the lineup clean-up spot!

Dellucci
VMart
Hafner
Gutz
Peralta
Garko
Blake

what I’d actually like to see is Hafner get diagnosed with some “back stiffness” or something like that, and spend a little time getting his head on straight before walloping AAA pitching in a rehab assignment…then come back to Cleveland.

I like the Sizemore-Dellucci-VMart lineup, and I have no idea what Casey Blake has done to get in the middle of that. I udnerstand dropping Hafner, but Blake is the one who benefits with more at-bats?

I think he was some kind of mutant/genetically-altered assistant in some mad scientist’s lab that chased Bugs around (or tried to capture him so the scientist could take his brain). I’m not sure he ever had a backstory per se, but he always cracked me the hell up.
I also love the sneakers. Awesome touch.

The monster (unnamed here) serves as the scientist’s henchman, and showed a sudden burst of joyousness with the prospect of being rewarded with a delectable “spider goulash” for capturing the bunny, which proved to be a very difficult, if not impossible task.
Haaahaha. God, I loved me some Chuck Jones.

I like changes in lineup .. but this one seems a bit dramatic. I was just hoping for a Victor-Garko-Hafner 3,4,5.
by Toxicadam on May 1, 2008 6:53 PM EDT 0 recs
No, no, no – to much pressue on Hafner. Hide him as best you can without humiliating him. Sixth is perfect.

Yeah, I thought that’s a good spot for the contact guys or something. At his present rate he’ll wind up w/ 146 K’s in the same number of ABs as last season (558). That’s a number that would lead you to believe he’s a power hitter. He’s a very strange hitter, to say the least.

Could be my boyz, Washington Group International – we just got bought out by URS which has ties to the Carlisle Group – ya know all the ex-Regan Dept. Secretaries. I’ll ask when I get back to Princeton.

Sorry dude – yeah either gotta be able to weld or have a Professional Engineers License. I’ll check when I get back, but my guys are the reason they gotta post diplomats in these countries – they’re constantly screwin’ up.

Seems like they’re going for broke. It’ll either work or it won’t. Could be a lineup that gets better as the season goes by. If everything else holds together they’re VERY interesting.

Because Russ Branyan only has 121.

I’m not so sure. I think Sexson’s had more luck but Branyan was, and is, just undervalued by the market.

Looks like both hit HR’s in about 6.4% of their AB’s. While Sexson struck out 26.4%, Branyan struck out 40.4%.
Talk about closing your eyes and swinging.
