Not Official but close: Pie recalled, Ward/Murton/Floyd DL

SABR Gamer · June 3, 2007

"Daryle Ward (or possibly Matt Murton or Cliff Floyd) is to go on the DL tomorrow (back trouble, allegedly, despite the fact that he pinch-hit today), and Felix Pie will be recalled."

Pie then would become the permanent starting center fielder (thank God), and would most likely bat 6th/7th. He could be the spark this team needs. Our record this year with Pie is 4 games over .500 in 15(or so) games, while its 13 under .500 without him. Don't give up just yet, I know it may be optimistic thinking and I myself am on the edge of giving up, but this team still has a lot of talent, and Pie brings the energy.

The lineup would probably be:

1. Soriano (LF)

2. Theriot (SS)

3. Lee (1B)

4. Ramirez (3B)

5. Floyd (RF)

6. Barrett©/DeRosa(2B)

7. Pie (CF)

8. DeRosa(2B)/Barrett©

Barrett would usually bat 6th, but he has been crap lately, so thats why the drop to 8th. I wonder what happens to Jones then.

I wish the Lineup could have Ramirez 3rd and Lee at 2 or 5 if his power doesn't pick up, but its been better lately so if that continues then leave it.

This division sucks, come on Cubs at least make things interesting!
