No Justin, BJ, or Simmons but at least La Stella is batting higher in the line-up and Heyward in the 5 Spot...

Will post the Phillies line-up as soon as I can find it

Fredi is going to try La Stella in the lead off spot for a bit. Not just day game after night game thing. See what happens

I don't like Heyward in the fifth spot because then his elite baserunning is not properly utilized. Let Freeman double him home.

Agreed. Not to mention putting one of our weaker starters against lefties between our two strongest (Justin and Gattis).
 
Johnson is murdering them this year, too, but not quite to the level of Justin and Gattis.

I have a feeling hte Braves will absolutely not remove Freeman from the 3/4 spots because that is their guy. He got the money and he signed. I think its a big mistake based on the type of players Heyward/Freeman are. But, as long as we are moving Beej down and TLS up then I am happy.

New lineup might look like this:

TLS

Justin

Freddie

Gattis

Heyward

CJ

BJ

Simmons

Let's hope.

That's about as good as this lineup can be set up. I agree it might be better to swap Heyward and Freeman to take advantage of Heyward's base running, but as long as the top 5 contains those 5 guys and the LHers are split up, anything else is a minor quibble.

Now we just have to hope TLS doesn't go through a 2-20 stretch and force more lineup shuffling.
 
I like it! Glad Fredi finally did something right. I'll be pissed if BJ is second Friday but he probably will be. I think the best lineup we can have is:

TLS 2B

JUP LF

Heyward RF

Freeman 1B

Gattis C

CJoh 3B

BJ CF

Simba SS

THIS! Except I've had it with BJ, he needs to go and get the Uggla treatment, release their asses, there are no more sacred cows here. Either you perform or you don't or your out, business is business.
