re: Some baseball lineups you'd like to see

The problem with all of this is we're conjecturing based on extremely small sample sizes. Dugas batted well the last week, but he might be back at .150 soon

I don't at all disagree with you here. And I'm not even arguing to take Beloso out the lineup. Just don't get the idea of having him in the 4 hole at this point. With his early OBP success and lack of exhibited power, he'd better suited to either be a top of the order guy (2 hole) or to be in the 6-7 slots.

But going off the limited picture, just to back it up more, even in the shortened season last year, Dugas had a Slg of .607 and an OPS of 1.019, while Beloso was .453 and .806 respectively.

So I'm just arguing that I would not have Beloso in the cleanup spot, a traditional slugging part of the order, over someone like Dugas.
