AKAKBUCK;1926145; said:And... there is something to be said for the fact that we're (I think... ) about 4th in MLB in runs scored, so something is working... and.. while it's not wat you usually think of... the point about the .350 OBP is true... and I don't have time to look it up, but, I'm sure there's some value "Sabermetrically" about leaving him in that spot vs. others.
Now in a completely unscientific point (compared to the mostly unscientific point jsut made) is that if Wedge were still Manager, every combination of lineups we've described in the last few pages would have been already tried and subsequently discarded after one game.
So, to be honest, I'm kind of ok with the, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" approach.
Wedge's potential favorite Lineup:
Lou Marson C
Buck/Duncan LF
LaPorta 1B
Valbuena 3B
O Cabrera 2B (only because Valbuena can't hit twice in a row to strand himself)
Choo RF
A Cabrera SS
Santana DH
Brantley CF
