My best bats are all C/DH/1B type players and I would like to get them in the line up in the non-DH portion of the WS.. 

Is reward worth the risk on starting these guys in the OF?

Hector Cruz  in LF
Cody Pavlov in RF vs lefties..
Paul Brandt in RF vs righties..
Leo Lidge at 3B rather than RF

my other alternatives would be..
Bench Cruz
Bench Pavlov/Brandt

And use:
Grov Terell at 3B
Beckwith / Rijo combo at LF

Brandt will hurt more than Pavlov. Cruz in left is probably the worst of all of them, concerning defensive woes.

I'd do it, since offensive improvement at 3B and RF looks to be more than the defensive loss.

Who normally plays LF?
8/14/2012 1:57 PM
Lidge      started123 games at LF (6+ / 0- plays)..
Terrell     started 96 games at 3B (7+ / 1- plays)..


I just called up Cruz for the playoffs.
8/14/2012 2:12 PM
Brandt played RF in 11 games so far in these playoffs.
12 PO's no E's/+'s/-'s
8/14/2012 2:13 PM
Thanks for the info.
8/15/2012 11:32 PM
Why don't you just bench Brandt and DH Cruz.,,or did you do that?
8/16/2012 10:43 AM

Thats what I do in the AL park.. I was referring to the NL  home games

This post has a rating of , which is below the default threshold.
Got pending reviewed again for nothing.  Hopefully my ticket will clear that up from happening.

Tandem is a part of the game, don't get all bent out of shape when you don't understand it or now how to counter act it.
8/16/2012 6:26 PM
No it doesn't.  What does matter is I used a perfectly acceptable tactic of using tandem starters to beat him, at which point he started putting me down with personal attacks, even calling me a douche up above.  But...my posts are being reported for review and yet his still stands.  Awesome!
8/16/2012 8:01 PM
I quit using any kind of strategy after I took a 2-0 series lead and got personally attacked for using a legit strategy.  I let the AI run the series and dumped the next 4 games to lose it.

Congratulations.
8/18/2012 1:54 PM
Yeah, I'm sure that's what happened.

Apparently you don't recognize higher ethics when you see them. Shame, shame.
8/18/2012 3:17 PM
No sour grapes, I really don't care much if I won or lost.  That is the reason why I let the AI run it instead of tandem'ing my way to a sweep. Obviously the outcome was a little more important to my opponent than it was to me.

Ur a clown..but I take no pride in the WS.. Id lose more sleep over this if I had even a speck of respect for you.. Ur a a sketchy player and I would never join a world that you're in..
