Sox Lineup

[BSN07]

Even tho I doubt there will be any major changes, I was trying to think of a better way the Sox could set their lineup.

 

I know Tito loves the LH/RH/LH way of going about the line up, but lets think for a second. How can they Make Papi more useful. If the Rays aren't going to pitch to him, then why not use him as a decoy for someone else. What about putting Bay in the 3rd spot. Hes been the most consistant pwer threat recently. If Papi id behind him then maybe it will have a Manny type effect for Bay that Papi used to have.

 

Ellsbury

Pedroia

Bay

Papi

Youkillis

 

 

The rest of the lineup could change do to whoever is in the line up.

 

Bay is the hot bat, and I think they should give him a shot. He has dealt with everything so far.

 

Thoughts?

The way to force teams to pitch to Papi is for teams to fear pitching to Youkilis, who was pretty quiet during the ALDS. if they made any change, I'd probably do

 

Ellsbury

Pedroia

Youkilis

Ortiz

Bay

Drew

Kotsay

Varitek

Lowrie

 

But I know Tito likes to see Ortiz in the 3 slot all the time so I doubt anything changes
