Now that we have seen 3 games and basically know all we need to know about every player, how would you set the lineup?

I think our best lineup looks like this:

1) Crews CF
2) Doughty 2B
3) Morgan 1B
4) Beloso LF
5) Wyeth DH
6) Arnold SS
7) Dugas RF
8) Thompson 3B
9) Milazzo C

Crews in center since Gio is hurt. I think doughty and Morgan have both hit the ball well despite their numbers. Wyeth looked really comfortable at the plate and I think you try to play beloso in left to get Wyeth in the lineup.

At some point you need to move Crews to the 3 hole.

I’d put Morgan at lead off. He has the best approach on the team,

I think I’d like to see Morgan lead off for a couple of games to see how he does. He’s patient so he’s going to see a lot of pitches. Finds the barrel more often than not and has enough speed to be a threat.

I’d like to see Crews in center and Drost in right field.

Dugas in left and Beloso remaining the DH.

Arnold and Thompson should keep SS and 3rd locked down unless they start struggling. They both seem to be bright spots both with the glove and bat.

Milazzo needs to get back to form. He lost focus a lot tonight. He’s still your best option at catcher defensively but if he keeps up the mental lapses that he had tonight then it’s time to get Travinsky some starts.

Wyeth is just a damn good backup and I’m happy to have him.

I was impressed with Sanford tonight. Morgan has solid speed and makes great contact. Seems like a good leadoff option.

1. Morgan 1B
2. Doughty 2B
3. Crews RF
4. Beloso LF/DH
5. Dugas LF/DH
6. Arnold SS
7. Thompson 3B
8. Milazzo C
9. Sanford CF

I would like to see Travinski get a look at DH. I think he has more upside than just about anyone and could make a difference in the middle of the order, but he’s going to have some swing and miss and I don’t know if you can get him enough ABs to work through it.

Only issue with this is he is the backup catcher and you aren’t going to put your backup catcher at DH. Milazzo while really good did have some lazy moments with runners on base this weekend and doesn’t hit well enough to have those moments and stay in the lineup. Wyeth may end up being the starting catcher if he can be consistent at the plate even if his defense isn’t at Milazzo’s level.

Crews needs to be batting 3rd and Morgan leading off. I wouldn’t mind putting Arnold at 2 and Doughty at 5 either.

Safford in center until Gio is back. Beloso to DH with Travinski before Wyeth.

Wyeth showed enough to get a game to himself this weekend behind the plate. Maybe he catches Labas to try to change things up. I'm not sure I would use him in the DH spot. I would prefer Beloso to stay at DH, and use Sanford, Drost, Safford in the OF. Travinski should get multiple, consecutive at bats, too, to see how he handles a pitcher adjusting from at bat to at bat.
