How many guys are you going to carry??????
I might go with 28 guys!!!
I wanted to carry a big bullpen, playing in a hitter's park. (I haven't played in hitters parks often.)
Batting wise, I committed to a platoon strategy. That also leads to a big lineup of batters.
I'm really interested to see how this will work out! 28 guys, 16 batters, several injury prone guys . The idea with chisenhall is to try to have the replacement guy vs rhp a little bit nearer to the starter's effectiveness - either Bautista at 3b or Ortiz at DH. If chisenhall gets hurt, then youkilis can start vs the rhp as well. Youkilis will start at 3b vs lhp. I figure that that will reduce bautista's plate appearances a little, and hopefully reduce bautista's injuries a little as well.
