Gomes and TB lineup

[vladrules]

Where will he bat with Lugo out?

He's always 5th when Lugo was in right?

[Dan Lambskin]

i would still expect him to bat 5th

[raiders_umpire]

Gomes should still be batting 5th. If Lugo does miss a few games, I would expect Gathright to move into the leadoff role and the rest of the lineup to stay the same.

I hope he's still batting fifth- thats good for him right behind Huff and Cantu.

Neither Lugo nor Gathright are in the lineup today

ugh, that sucks

[raiders_umpire]

Yea, today Gomes is hitting 3rd with Wiggington playing 3b and Gathright on the bench.

i guess this is a sign that gathright wont play as much as some thought

[KOSTAS]

Yeah- why the he&% is Gathright on the bench and Hollins in CF???!!!

Hollins should be the 4th OF, not the other way around/ At the very least, build Joey's trade value by playing him everyday while Rocco is out.

Stupid Rays.

Well, us Gathright supporters can hope that Hollins played today because he hit 4/5 vs. Bedard last year. As y'all may know, Joe Maddon loves crunching numbers with computers and I almost expect him to know of that stat.

I wouldn't worry too much, though. Hollins has been a wreck defensively today. He messed up on a line drive and then took a step in on a ball that ended up over his head.

However, why the hell Ty Wigginton is playing dumbfounds me. Why isn't Huff at 3rd, which is supposed to be his position now, with one out of Joey and Hollins at DH?
