Leadoff & RF

[bravefalcon7]

Who would you want leading-off and in RF at Turner Field:

Ryan Freel
Chone Figgins
Jeff Devanon (will obviously need platoon)

[JAYDINGESS1]

First thing, why would you strangle yourself that way? Leadoff and play RF?

RF is loaded with power.

But, Brady Clark or Abreu come to mind first

[qksilver69]

Jay - I imagine those are the only decent choices he has left after draft ran.

Falc - I would go with Freel unless you already have 2-3 more RH bats in the lineup. In Turner I would try to have 3-4 pure LHBs, 3-4 SW, & 1-3 RHs in my lineup vs RHPs. Freel is very effective in leadoff if you will see a lot of reverse RHPs. Otherwise I'd go with Davanon - Figgins does not have enough OBP for me....

[bravefalcon7]

I have too many RHB. I need to replace Jermaine Dye.

What you desperately need is LH power in Turner.

M Giles can bat leadoff for you vs lefties and you will see many lefties in Turner. Your team is not set up for your ballpark. Qk can help you. Turner is just another Shea with less lh bphr. And you have to guard a little more against rh bphr. Post free agent list and we can help (qk especially)

Yeah, I'd just sort the 1st page of FAs by OPS & post them here. See what you have to work with....

[bravefalcon7]

Not sure how else to copy this. I can also move Teixera to RF, move Pujols to 1B and pick-up a 1B or DH like Klesko or Erstad.

if there are lost of right handed starters in your DIV., you've got to go with Davanon, another lefty bat somewhere else in your lineup would be helpful aswell

[qksilver69]

That's cool, but I meant ALL FA hitters, not just RF....you need more help than RF....

[bravefalcon7]

OK, here is the 1st page of all FA. I'm 1st in my division, but its pretty tight. The other ballparks in my division are Shea, Petco & Montreal. I have Giles leading off against LHP, but he is a high injury risk, so I need a back-up plan as well as someone against RHP. Thanks for your help.
