Donovan LF, Wetherholt 2B, Burleson RF, Herrera DH, Contreras 1B, Gorman/Saggese 3B, Crooks C, Winn SS, Scott CF.
Re: Play The Best Upside Lineup
Good point. I guess they could go Wetherholt or Donovan 2B or 3B with Burly in LF, Walker in RF. Then Walker would bat sixth. What's your preference?
Re: Play The Best Upside Lineup
I wouldn’t rush JJ until at least September callups. Gorman at 3rd, Walker in right. Burly and Herrera rotate between DH and LF.
Re: Play The Best Upside Lineup
Have you finally come across to Burleson as a regular in the lineup? It's prudent to save a year of control with Wetherholt.JohnnyMO wrote: ↑09 Aug 2025 16:43 pmI wouldn’t rush JJ until at least September callups. Gorman at 3rd, Walker in right. Burly and Herrera rotate between DH and LF.

any lineup with VS2 isn't the best possible upsideBasil Shabazz wrote: ↑09 Aug 2025 14:56 pm OF Donny, VS2, Walker

Re: Play The Best Upside Lineup
I’ve said for a long time Burly is an every day player that should hit 6th or 7th in a contending lineup.Shady wrote: ↑09 Aug 2025 16:46 pmHave you finally come across to Burleson as a regular in the lineup?

He may ultimately be a 350-400 at bat platoon type player, but right now he deserves to play every day.

The lack of foresight combined with IMPATIENCE never ceases to amaze me!
Based on the daily ramblings of certain posters we’d need a 36 not 26 man roster to accommodate the obsessions.

But leave JJW at AAA longer. No need to rush him.

Leave him there long enough not to start his click. I agree.BrummerStealsHome wrote: ↑09 Aug 2025 17:44 pmRevren!Basil Shabazz wrote: ↑09 Aug 2025 14:56 pm OF Donny, VS2, Walker

Re: Play The Best Upside Lineup
Not like VS is a lost cause. If he can keep improving his average and learn to take the occasional BB, he’d be a 50+ stolen base disruptive type. No other player we have has that potential from the speed and actual knack for base stealing. Not to mention GG level defense at a good spot for it.Basil Shabazz wrote: ↑09 Aug 2025 17:34 pmwell, I don’t disagree, who would you play in centerfield under the guise of upside??dugoutrex wrote: ↑09 Aug 2025 16:54 pmany lineup with VS2 isn't the best possible upsideBasil Shabazz wrote: ↑09 Aug 2025 14:56 pm OF Donny, VS2, Walker

You are a gutless weasel. What's your lineup?
