Did Leyland make any roster changes for this series?

I didn't see this posted just wanted to check...

Just ask in the game thread man thats where everyone is right now. Youre much more likely to have someone actually read that.

I dunno, hopefully he had Shelton on the roster. If not we're likely stuck with Carlos at first and Neifi at SS...

[estrepe1]

I think that they might run Santiago out there at SS if tonight is any indication... Santiago is a much better defensive player than Neifi.

I don't think Shelton is on the roster. Which sucks because Casey is likely done for at least the rest of it.

During the post-game, Leyland says Shelton is not available for the series.

Says can only be added for the World Series.

I would rather see Infante at SS than Perez or Santiago. He has the best bat of the 3 of them.

I would too but I think that if they are going to choose between Neifi and Santiago I would choose Santiago. Around equal bats with a much better glove for Santiago.

I agree with you. It really hurts to lose Casey though because there is nobody to plug into his spot in the lineup.

[T.O. Tiger Fan]

You could bat Santiago 9th and play NL style ball I guess. Just have him sac bunt and if you get a hit out of him it's a bonus.

Guillen is perfect for 3. I think it would be okay to put Ivan at 5. Basically just bump everyone up a spot and put in a new 9.

[slim pickens]

Guillen has batted 5th all year. I doubt they make a change with him to 3 now. That could put him on a cold streak. sometimes it happens.

[T.O. Tiger Fan]

Pudge batted third for 2/3 of the year until they got Casey. Put Pudge back in third and bump Monroe, Thames, Inge up a spot and Santiago/Infante/Perez will bat 9th.

Perhaps. I don't buy that stuff but I think Leyland probably does.

You will likely see Ivan slide into the 3 spot.

Yeah I think pudge goes back to #3.

I figure Leyland will put Pudge back at 3. That's not all bad, I just don't think it's as effective. But the real problem is having what amounts to a throwaway AB in the lineup.

For a long time Casey was a throwaway AB in the lineup. Besides I am not really ready to say that it will be a throwaway AB if Infante is thrown in there (he can hit a fastball).... Santiago would be a throwaway as would Neifi.

[tiger paw paw]

Thames or Monroe to 3rd. Leyland likes his 4-5-6 lineup. He doesn't mess with it once it is clicking.
