re: Some baseball lineups you'd like to see

But you still have to find a way to get a guy as talented as Hampton in the line up. At least to see what he can do in a real game.

But why do you have to do it when guys who obviously performed better than him at practice are already doing well in real games?

The guys that got shots to play before Hampton are guys that beat out Hampton in practices and scrimmages. I know there are practice guys and there are gamers that show up when the lights are in but there also guys that can do both well. As a coach you give the practice guys the first crack at showing what they can do in games and if those guys are productive they stay in the lineup. If those guys struggle then you look at the guys that were beat out in practice and give them there shot and see what happens.
