re: DAT 2015-2016 Offseason Thread

I had posted this back before Christmas, things have started to take shape now and it looks like Gattis could very well miss opening day

quote:

If Singleton is on the opening day roster, which it sounds like is the plan, this is my ideal opening day lineup

C
Castro
Stassi/some RH veteran backup

1B
New 1B
Singleton

2B
Altuve

SS
Correa

3B
Valbuena

OF
Springer
Gomez
Rasmus
Marisnick

UTIL
Gonzalez

DH
Gattis

SP
Keuchel
Kazmir/New SP
McHugh
McCullers
Fiers

RP
Feldman
Harris
New LHP/promote someone
Neshek
Sipp
Gregerson
Giles

Here is what I think the 25 man will be assuming Gattis is out on opening day and no other big moves are made



C
Castro
Stassi

1B
Singleton
White

2B
Altuve

SS
Correa

3B
Valbuena

OF
Springer
Gomez
Rasmus
Marisnick
Tucker

UTIL
Gonzalez

SP
Keuchel
McHugh
McCullers
Fiers
Fister or Feldman

RP
Fister or Feldman
Fields or a promoted lefty like Chapman or a non roster invite LHP
Harris
Neshek
Sipp
Gregerson
Giles


I would prefer us to have two lefties in the pen but it will be interesting to see what we do. I see Singleton/Tucker/White shuffling a lot of ABs until Gattis comes back

Also I think Duffy could be an option instead of White but I agree I think he hits his way onto the roster.
