CJ #2....Doumit #6....BJ # 8...my logical choice.

Just to be clear - we are now moving Heyward down in the lienup 4 spots, while maintaining BJ in the most important spot in the order

How does anyone defend this idiot?

I'd still guess justin goes there in the 2-hole once he's back. We've got to win this series. Got too.

I'm not one who usually lives and dies with lineup construction, but if we don't see a top 4 of Heyward, Justin, Freeman, and Gattis by tomorrow, I'm going to riot.

If you don't count the pitcher....the lineup alternates left/right all the way down. That's so cool!

That will likely never happen this year.

This is a joke.

Oh. Good. I didn't think even Fredi would be this ignorant. What's the real lineup?

No, that is the real lineup I believe.

I refuse to believe that its real.

really hoping Doumit contributes tonight. Fredi's dumb, yes, but he goes with the hot hand, so if Doumit hits better than BJ (not hard to do) and Justin can return he might finally pull the trigger on benching BJ.

Schafer just hasn't performed well enough to push BJ aside, maybe Doumit can.

Why get your best players the most ab's when you can go left/right/left all the way down the lineup.

Uh, he won 96 games last year?

Isn't it at least fair to say that Doumit has earned some playing time? And Fredi has always believed in going L/R down the lineup. Why does this stuff come as such a shock to some of you.
