Keep on Platooning Evans / Murph in of, but have Evans rest Delgado 1X/week against a lefty. Ride Castillo, send A Reyes down, but have Easly play 2X/week to rest gimpy. “more men on base= higher chance to win. platoon evans and delgado agsaint lefites and start murphey at second and just use reyes as a baserunner”

Castillo hurry up back. Kid what u want about his power, but although his BA is down, his walks and runs scored / AB are above his career average, and much much better than A. Reyes or Easley Thats why as much as it hurts to say it.

At least if they pitch around the 6 hitter then Schnieder and Castillo have good OBP. I true hope is that Castillo comes back healthy and can take the 2 spot. At least he can get on base. You can't have a guy with below .300 OBP batting 2nd in any league. That Jay Bell guy you are talking about had a .343 OBP, Thats a lot better than .280.

Teams will dare Schneider and A. Reyes or Castillo to beat them. Frankly, that scares the poop out of me.

You can bunt guys over. Now, granted we're in a different era, but the Pirates of the early 90's had great success with Jay Bell in the two hole consistently leading the league in sac bunts. I'm just saying, I love the idea of Murphy in the 2-hole, but it just makes the bottom of the lineup way too weak. With Easley or Castro in the lineup, I'm all for it. I've been saying this, even with Castillo in there. You can't bat him 8th when Schneider plays. I think Manuel feels the same way. No, but you can do more things with a weaker hitter in the 2 hole.

An you would rather put that automatic out inbetween our best hitters. So you would rather have an automatic out for 5 AB’s instead of 4?
