New Lineup vs. Lefties
#6
<!--quoteo(post=90752:date=Apr 18 2010, 04:25 PM:name=Butcher)-->QUOTE (Butcher @ Apr 18 2010, 04:25 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><!--quotec-->Why would Byrd ever hit leadoff?<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Because crappy results to start the season lead to knee-jerk reactions like this. I'm indifferent on it, but it's way too early to be freaking. Theriot's gonna be fine.

I do like Baker batting 2nd though against lefties. That's what I wanted coming into the season.

But if you're set on moving Theriot down to 8th, I like this more: Put Baker at leadoff and Nady 2nd, or vice versa. Leave Byrd 5th.

Coming into today...

Baker's a career .290/.349/.565 guy against lefties.
Nady's a career .381 obp guy against lefties.
Byrd's career .276/.338/.439 against lefties.

So your lineup would look like this(again, could swap Baker and Nady):

1. Baker- .914 career OPS vs. lefties
2. Nady- .854
3. Lee- .922
4. Ramirez- .895
5. Byrd- .777 (keep in mind he's a better power hitter than he used to be)
6. Soriano- .862
7. Soto- .847
8. Theriot- .806 (career .384 OBP)

Also, this helps for later in the game, as Fukudome replaces Nady at #1 or #2 in the lineup ahead of the middle of our order, rather than 5th when he comes in as a defensive replacement.
