Maybe, but since all three have played those positions in the Majors before (.952 fielding pct at SS by Pedroia, 1.00 pct at 2B by Youk, and .989 fielding pct at 1B by Ortiz), and it keeps all the bats in the lineup it might be an idea. Those #'s don't look like the worst defensive lineup, but #'s do not always tell the truth...

I am not a MLB Manager though, nor do I want to be or dream to be...

No sir.

Everyone second guessing decisions on a horse racing board
is the ultimate pressure cooker. Scuds would try and kill my
kid if I managed the Dodgers... Way dangerous.

I agree with the pitching and defense theory, but making those moves wouldn't be as drastic as Mayo Smith putting Mickey Stanley at SS for the Tigers in the '68 Series (Ray Oyler their regular SS was hitting well below the Mendoza Line).

Wow, nice!

Love when people pull out old stats and moves...

It will be interesting to see what Francona does, as well as how he changes the pitching rotation...

Well I would rather the RedSox win it as I despise the entire state of Colorado.


But beyond that I just don't care.


I will give you the following for your closer,though:

Here's Jhonny,JoeBoo,Delucci,Nixon and Michaels..........and Cliff Lee.

Yea, it looks as if them days off did the Rockies no good. And Boston comes into this series absolutely sizzling. Now that Colorado has Beckett out of it's way, for now at least, it's interesting to see what will unfold these next two games.
