Thinking of moving Yaz and letting Carty and Francona share time in LF. Defense will suck, but I see more overall production out of those two than from Yaz. The division is full of hitters parks, with one Candlestick.

I like my pitching, at least I think I do. I hate my defense, but have grown to accept reality of a single season. I'm wishing for better OBP at the top of the order, although some kind words about Monday would ease that.

If I can find a way to get Francona up at the top as well, then I'm happy with my offense. Might have to keep Yaz to use as a compliment to Allen.

No matter how I slice it, this team will have injuries, and I like the moving pieces to fill in for them when they occur. Yaz is sort of key in that regard in that he can play LF,CF,1B without injury. Francona/Carty slide around LF and 1B when Allen goes down, and Hebner at 1B/3B. Somehow, I think I can get them all at bats if I ignore the defensive consequences.


Or...one of you kind people could help me sort out this mess into a nice logical well oiled machine.

:D :wink:

I've used Monday 2X, and he hit around .280 w/ about a .360 OBP both times. (Pitching parks)
The only negative that he brings is the possible 15 game stint on the DL.

Given the current alternatives, I'll take it.
