Around SBN: How The Kings Beat The Coyotes: Lather, Rinse, Repeat

Playoff lineup suggestions being taken now


Ok so I am in the playoffs of my NL only league and have a few lineup options.  Pitching is not really able to be changed but there is some batting line up issues that can be addressed.  Here's my line up-

C: Doumit

1b- Ike Davis

2. McGehee

3b: Aramis Ramirez

SS: Furcal

OF: Holliday

OF: Soriano

OF: Drew Stubbs

U: Chris Johnson

 

I have Lance Berkman, Kung Fu Panda and Nate McLouth on the bench.  I chose to site McLouth because he is facing 2 lefties in his 6 games next week and he's been sitting vs LHP.  His RHP includes games against Oswalt and Halladay.  Not a good week of match-ups for Nate.  Berkman and Kung Fu have been fodder the past month.  I can pick up Ryan Ludwick and stick him in the outfield in place of Soriano.  Or I could pick up Ludwick and put him at Utility and have Johnson replace Aramis.  The Cubs are home all week but I'm not sure how many at bats Aramis wil get, or if he will produce.  The Cubs face a slew of difficult pitchers this week but they are at home both series and there's always a chance Soriano and or Aramis could get hot, or just lucky and pop a long one or two.  So my issue is whether to pick up Ludwick and, if so, who to sit- Aramis or Soriano.  Ludwick usually hits his homers in bunches and I think he may have one last run left in him this month.  His games are at LA and home against the Reds.

 

Then there's Mike Morse who's available.  He's even across the board split-wise : home/away; left/right.  Not sure what sort of playing time he's looking at though although I suspect the Nats are giving him a long look for next year.  He has seven games scheduled next week- all at home, four against Houston followed by Atlanta.  Hell I should dump both Soriano and Aramis and start Ludwick and Morse.  Maybe not.  

 

Any ideas?

fwiw

I pulled Ike Davis and replaced him with Mike Morse. Everything else was left the same- so no Ludwick this week. His schedule looked kinda bad although now that I did not plug him into the line-up he probably goes off for 3-4 homers this week.

I pulled off a win- now on to the finals. I have an inclination to sit Aramis, move JOhnson to 3b and start Ike Davis at utility. I also benched Soriano and picked up Pat Burrell to start in the OF. Furcal has been benched too, I picked up Danny Espinosa who i supposed to start at 2b the rest of the season for the Nats. Whether he does or not is yet to be seen. Here’s my line-up:
C- Doumit
1b- Morse
2b- McGehee
3b- Johnson
SS- Danny Espinosa
OF- Holliday
OF- Burrell
OF- Stubbs
Utility- Ike Davis

SP- Halladay
SP- Bronson Arroyo
SP- Jon Garland
SP- Daniel Hudson
SP- Anibal Sanchez
RP- Francisco Cordero
RP- Marmol

Bench- Aramis, Ludwick, Furcal, Soriano, Axford.

Any thoughts? Ludwick have gotten the start at Utility and I would have moved Ike to 1b and benched Morse except that Ludwick has been in a really big slump. Wil Venable has been hot and I could have picked him up but he’s not doing well in this scoring format. Same with Jose Guillen, except not so hot.

Soriano

I wish he would have hit like this yesterday- I would have started him this week.
