Changes Coming? Volume 2

[Little Slide Rooter]

In Lous post game, as only he can, he said that it was time that he was going to have to make some tough decisions, and get some other guys in the lineup. Jake Fox may well be one of those other guys. He looked competant in left today, and whether they give Soriano time off, or put him in 2nd, that sounds like a plan to me. Soto could also be one of the casualties, but as bad as he can be, Id much rather wait for him to come along than go with Koyie Hill.

 

Also, Soriano said that he would be OK with moving down in the lineup if it helps the team. I know hes said that in the past, but I think its time to take him up on it. Ryan Theriot would be the logical replacement, but on the score, they said that Kosuke could be given a try too, and focus on getting on base and not try to hit for power.

Lou does that annually: in 2007 and this season, he tried batting Soriano 3rd. In 2008, he started the season with Theriot and Soriano hitting 1-2. It only ever lasts a few games because when it comes to lineups, Lou has the attention span of a child.

 

Now, I don't know wheter the aforementioned decisions were reversed by Lou or by Soriano, but so far as we know, it's not as if they've been jonesing to try it for three seasons and Soriano's put his foot down every time.

I'm at the point just put all their names in a hat and pick and go from there.

This time, its not so much to help the offesne but to limit the damage. We need a leadoff hitter that can get on base.

In all seriousness, who, currently available on the team or Minors, is that leadoff hitter? All the experiments seem to be a bust, so who would be the next legitimate candidate? I really believe this is the No. 1 issue with the offense, though there are plenty lined up right behind that issue.

[Schwarber Fan]

Moving Soriano down makes double sense this time since there is no "he hits better in the leadoff spot" excuse that applies.

 

I hope to see this lineup tomorrow:

 

SS Theriot

3B Fontenot

RF Bradley

1B Lee

LF Soriano

3B Fox

C Soto

CF Fukudome

P Zambrano

 

but that will never happen

Is Fox that bad at 3rd that he'll need Font out there with him?

[Schwarber Fan]

lol, Font at 2B of course

[Little Slide Rooter]

Either way, after the last batch of "changes" the biggest lineup tweak IM expecting is

 

Theriot SS

Fukudome CF

Lee 1B

Bradley RF

Fox LF

Font 3B

Blanco 2B

Hill C

 

barf. and even that will last about a game or 2.

Soriano 2B

Fox LF

Soto C

[Arnold Layne]

The only "change coming" is what the cashier will hand to Lou for his liquor store run. The dude seems like he's in a fog.

We need a hitter besides Lee that can get on base.

 

Fixed.

[Gingerballs Lives]

I'm at the point just put all their names in a hat and pick and go from there.

"Batting first, seven and three-eighths!"

[Bixby]

Trading Soriano is completely out of the question right? Just checking.

think the nationals would suck it up and take him back in exchange for dukes?

:good:

 

Sounds about right to me. Not just for the lineup either, I think we put them in the field this way, 1-9.

Because him and Bradley on the same team would at least give us some entertainment.

[Bull]

The biggest change this team needs is Aramis Ramirez starting everyday. I think we'll be surprised how quickly an impotent offense overcomes its ED with Aramis back.
