IMO I would not have Estrada leadoff, particularly against LHP. He has poor OB and speed. I would rather have Sheffield there, athough he is somewhat wasted with his good BPHR's he does have excellent OB. I would also swap ARod and Manny vs LHP. ARod is the better hitter out of the two.

Vs RHP things look Ok, although as I said Estrada is a bit slow but does have better OB.

Just a few thoughts. I'm sure there are others who can add their words of widom.

My words of widom would be that you don't have a leadoff guy in either of your lineups. With what you have I like Estrada leading off vs RHP. I would drop Estrada way down vs LHP and leadoff with Beltran. At least he as speed and does have good OBP. Too bad you don't have Merloni, Alfonso or Figgins to platoon with Blalock at 3B. Any of these 3 would be your best choice to lead off for you vs LHP.

I just type too quick sometimes!

Ya I know I have no real leadoff guy and there's not much out there. I did drop Estrada and picked up Durazo He can lead off VS RHP then Ill move Sheffield to leadoff VS LHP. Thanks.

My suggestions....

vs. LHP
1. Lopez, Javy (R) C (speed not so crucial as you have big boppers behind - score mostly on HRs...)
2. ? DH - hope u have a platoon for Durazo
3. Sheffield, Gary (R) RF
4. Ramirez, Manny (R) LF
5. Rodriguez, Alex (R) SS
6. Thome, Jim (L) 1B
7. Beltran, Carlos (S) CF
8. Blalock, Hank (L) 3B
9. Perez, Neifi (S) 2B
