What do you think of this lineup?
...I kinda just read through my post one last time before publishing it, and it's not much different than Leyland's usual lineup... but oh well.
What do you think of this lineup?
LF Ryan Raburn
SS Jhonny Peralta/Ramon Santiago
3B Brandon Inge
IMO, Avila has been hitting waaay to well to NOT have him in the lineup. That means if we want Victor to play, he's gotta be DH. Where does that leave Magglio Ordonez? The bench. Mind you, I'm a HUGE Ordonez fan. I don't think he should be playing outfield, and the DH spot is occupied by Martinez.
Austin Jackson - I think he's getting over his slump. If need be, though, he could be sent to AAA for a week or two, and have Casper Wells or maybe Don Kelly play CF. I don't think he'll need a stint in the minors, though.
I'm a big Raburn fan. It seems like you either love him or hate him, and I love him. His defense may not be great, but it's not as terrible as some people make it out to be. (Someone used this before, I though it summed up his defense perfectly) His defense is like a small coffee stain on a white shirt. It may not be big, but it's SO NOTICEABLE. When he DOES goof up, it seems like it's something that's gonna be remembered for a while. (Like his homerun-assist).
I like Santiago a lot more than I like Peralta. I think Santiago plays better D, and he's got more speed on the basepaths. However, whenever I say "Santiago should start at SS" it seems like Peralta does something amazing right afterwards. I'm happy either way.

appreciate your added analysis after the lineup
some people just spam lineups on us and I delete them. Yours obviously is staying. People out there: do it like this.
I like today's lineup

I like Boesch hitting 3rd
that is the best lineup spot in the AL. I hope we’re not hell bent on Raburn ,Jackson and Maggs playing sub par at Dirks expence but cash probably rules.
