re: Hal Hughes has been removed from the starting lineup for the next 2 games

2. Doughty stays in the lineup. Once at second, and I'm calling once at third.
3. Mathis spends a game at SS.
4. Hampton starts at least once in CF.

I called this yesterday. Looks like we might get two of each, instead of just one though.

Don't know why anybody is surprised at experimenting with the lineup in midweek games. It happens literally every season. In this particular seasons, we have more studs trying to break into the lineup than in recent history. It's not surprising at all. Best case scenario is Mathis handles SS well, and Doughty looks good at third. Dugas will have to hit, while playing second base, or it's all for nothing.
