My team is in Safeco, four Sheas in the league including one in my division. I
have used Morneau many times, often with good success, usually only as DH against RHP. I use Grissom as my DH against LH pitching and he's usually been excellent. I'm tempted this time to dump Morneau for Mike Lamb, who I almost never see used. My thought is that I might be able to use Lamb against some lefties in the parks and against pithcers that break Grissom's spirit...Anybody out there with experience with Lamb? There's not much else available on the waiver wire that can hit for some power from the left side.

Lineup v RHP
1. Pierre, Juan (L) CF
2. Burroughs, Sean (L) 3B
3. Drew, J.D. (L) RF
4. Thome, Jim (L) 1B
5. Morneau, Justin (L) DH
6. Figgins, Chone (S) LF
7. Castillo, Luis (S) 2B
8. Guzman, Cristian (S) SS
9. Varitek, Jason (S)

well morneau i have used and had pretty good success power wide with him..and i also saw him hit 54 HR's in a league i was in so he can be used against lhp...which with all those sheas and a safeco he would hit some HR's....beware of safeco however......you wil have VERY low BA and obp..
