In the semi-finals round of the Tournament, my team has hung tough in the face of a series of could-have-been decimating injuries, including 15 games each for Medlen & Josh Willingham, 8 for Bartolo Colon, and now 8 for Chipper and 10 for his replacement Ronnie Cedeno. (we've had other injuries too, particularly repeats for Carloses Santana & Quentin, but none for long periods).
With Chipper & Cedeno down, I have no healthy 3B, and out of all the guys on the bench, I'd like to see Rickie Week slotted in at third. I have him currently set at DH vs. normal LH pitching and Carlos Santana @1B. HAL put Santana at 3B, Casey Kotchman @1B, left Weeks at DH. If I want Weeks @3B, am I best off just leaving him off the lineup card completely? Slotting Santana @DH? It often seems to me that the DH is a locked-in position for HAL.
Thoughts? I've got 3 more games w/ both Chipper & Cedeno out, and I'm just now noticing that Cedeno is the only guy I've got backing up 3B and SS. That could prove too thin.
