Jeremy leading off. It's a bold strategy, Cotton. But I like that Mancini is in there. He can rest tomorrow. If short stops tend to be the most athletic, why can't they all play centerfield like Yount. Biggio went from Catcher to 2b to Centerfield. Or maybe the craziest suggestion let Chazzy stay at CF for the remainder of the season while Meyers works on whatever is ailing him. I like that Dusty is having an open mind now with Mancini. As long as the pitchers continue to deal, we can afford to go crazy in the lab.
Do you have any preferences? My total resources involve free MLB and Baseball-Reference data. I know there are more for a premium.
Dusty was just looking for the opposite reaction to yesterday's lineup and wanted to give us Dubon in the leadoff spot. Dusty likes to troll sometimes. He's such a kidder.
Bref is my go to as well. Range factor is what I like except for first basemen... comparing infield hit rates surrendered is really tough especially since the Astros shift oh so much... but after the Wallace/Carter years... I will never underappreciate first base defense again.
