Lou: Fukudome Penciled in at 2-Spot in Linuep

[dew1679666265]

it wouldn't be a shock at all if fontenot hit .257 this year. he's definitely capable of hitting for enough power and drawing enough walks to make that work, but still.

 

I think people are going to be really, unpleasantly surprised about his inability to be an everyday player by about mid-June.

 

I'm assuming you're psychic. Even if it doesn't work out, just make a change...

 

Change to who? Good offensive second basemen aren't plentiful. I think Fontenot will be ok (but not as good as DeRosa), but I worry about the many at bats we'll be giving Aaron Miles.

 

I'm guessing this is the only post you've read of mine on this page. I've been defending Fontenot from the start while other people were defending Kosuke and saying he should hit 2nd. What I mean is if Fontenot isn't producing out of the 2 spot and if Kouske is producing wihle hitting in another spot, you could go ahead and insert Kouske there. And if somehow, neither one of them can get the job done in the 2 hole, you can always rearange the lineup. I know that sounds easier than it actually is, but it can be done. But I do agree with you, as of right now, I'd like Fonetnot to bat 2nd in the lineup.

 

Ah, my bad, sorry. That's what I get for not reading the entire thread and assuming I knew what you were talking about.
