I wouldn’t mind Gathright, actually. Same shitty hitter, but much better glove.

Granted, I wouldn’t want him leading off, but lineup construction isn’t that big of a deal.

You could replace Reds with Cubs and Willy Taveras with Joey Gathrite and have the exact same post.

Nick…I wish you nothing but the best but as soon as I saw Reds and Wily Taveres I laughed my ass off

Ouch, Roman…but keep in mind. Dusty likes our .330 wOBA’ing second baseman hitting cleanup all year.

Otherwise, not far from the truth.

Reds 2009 Lineup

CF Tavaris
SS Gonzalez
2B Phillips……………….Dusty likes speed at the top of the lineup

C Hernandez
3B Encarnacion………..Dusty likes some experience driving guys in

1B Votto
RF Bruce……Dusty wants to protect his two young guns and bring them along slowly…at the bottom of the order he can protect these guys

LF Hopper…He is gritty
