I know to take these with a grain of salt, but I’ve seen a lot of projected lineups with this order:
RF Acuna
2B Albies
1B Freeman
LF Ozuna
C d’Arnaud
CF Inciarte
SS Swanson
3B Camargo
Is it just me, or does that seem like a weird spot for Inciarte?

I agree it is, but Snitker hit him there several times in spring training. Why in the world wouldn't you swap him and Camargo in that lineup??? Even lat year Camargo had really good high leverage numbers, the 6th spot would be ideal for him, and Inciarte would also fit way better in the 8th spot. |

Although I guess it’s a moot point if there is no season. |

One philosophy is to have speed, contact, on base, power, power, and then to come back with speed at #6. It's not really that crazy of an idea.

I'd still prefer Inciarte batting 8th with his speed because the pitcher can move him over and we actually have speed/on base/power all combined in the next two hitters that come up after the pitcher.
We would be void of speed at 3-6, but all on base guys with power.....except that catcher's spot.....man it would be nice to have JTR thrown in that mix. Are we really going to count on Flownaud batting 5th all season?
This lineup would be worse defensively but I think has the potential to be a LOT better offensively:
CF Acuna 2B Albies 1B Freeman LF Ozuna 3B Riley RF Camargo C Flownaud SS Swanson
The hangup for Snitker is the lefty/righty alternation is gospel for him. But I'm not so sure that's going to be as important since each pitcher has to pitch to a minimum of three batters.

Snit loves Ender so much that all he sees is August/September.

It looks like if they play ball this year we're going to have the DH in the NL.
Lineups vs. lefties and vs. righties?

In your zest for getting Camargo, Riley, and maybe even Duvall more AB's you all forgot ONE BIG thing! Snitker is probably gonna' DH MARKAKIS most of the time, i.e. against RHP. While I like Markakis for what he's done for the Braves over the last 3-4 years, he isn't my ideal DH type of hitter

Nick has given us an average of 102 wRC+ and 1.5 WAR over the last four years. We should have done better and can this year, but we’ll see.....even though I know what to expect. |
