What's your lineup?

Now that we've seen Bader and he's up...What lineup do you want to see? Here's mine...

1B-Marp
CF-Pham
SS-Dejong
3B-Gyorko
C-Molina
2B-Wong
CF-Bader
RF-Sierra

I know Sierra isn't up, but I can dream. Lotsa speed and youth. Would probably tank. Feel like the D wouldn't be awful.

ew to hitting dejong 3rd with his forthcoming sub .300 OBP over Gyorko

Probably

Marp
Pham
Gyorko
DeJong
Molina
Grichuk or Martinez
Wong
Bader

I don't think Sierra is there. He's posting a .320 OBP in AA. He is not ready. He needs to be down playing every day.

Really, Bader/Martinez/Grichuk feels kind of close to me all around. Martinez and Grichuk are 4th outfielders. Bader is probably a 5th outfielder but I wouldn't bring the kid up to sit him.

When Pisc is back I'd put him 5th and send Bader back to AAA to play every day.

No one cares about DeJong's OBP or numerous strikeouts as long as he keeps hitting HRs. Kid hit 19 before he came up and has added 13 more in the bigs. THAT is what everybody focuses on these days.

Ehhh they care when constructing a lineup

Generally the super low OBP big SLG guy hits 4-4-5 not 3 because he gets to bat at 4 if you get anyone on base. And he comes up a lot with 2 outs where the power is most meaningful. Guy number three should be better all around. Keep the inning going with 0-1 outs before the no OBP high SLG guy

I am ok with gyorko at 3B. Now we need to decide if our 2B is Wong or DeJong. We need to trade a package of young guys for a great defensive SS. We have Leake, Waino, and Carlos. The time for acting like we can get away with a mediocre SS is over.
