Shuffled Lineups

[Deadshot]

I understand that players need a night off every once in awhile, but there comes a point where you have to establish some type of continuity in the lineup. Every night players are seemingly playing out of position causing costly errors. We've seen Suero in center and at 2nd, Linares has been all over the infield, we're roatating catchers on a whim (although Dusty is on the "DL" now), and Roberson might as well not be at first base (even though that actually is his position).

I am, however, pleased with the batting order as of now. I like Suero leading off (although last night he tried to bunt for a hit from the start, dropping it down the first base line...I thought Juan Francia was gone). Hernandez, Justice, and Ramirez are all hitting the ball as well (Justice has been an RBI machine).

Thoughts anyone?

[Charles Liston]

Maybe he'll settle on a lineup after 30 or 40 games. In a way it's tough to see a guy get branded as a benchwarmer before he's even out of A level, so maybe rotating the guys isn't all bad.

Justice is really a pleasant surprise so far isn't he? The great thing is that he's got the strikeouts at an almost acceptable level. I never thought that he'd be able to do that, considering that he's the only guy I can ever remember who struck out 100 times in Short-Season (Neil Jenkins never played Short-Season). So, way to go Justin.
