much more balanced that way Besides, Duquette already said that's Howe's top five in the order.

[Continental League]

1. Kaz Matsui
2. Jose Reyes
3. Mike Piazza
4. Cliff Floyd
5. Jason Phillips
6. Karim Garcia/Roger Cedeno/et al
7. Mike Cameron
8. Ty Wigginton

Phillips is a demonstrably better hitter than Cameron, not to mention more consistent. Plus a higher OBP makes him better in the 5-hole.

The revolving right field will likely bat 6th for lefty/righty reasons. Most days (against RH pitching) it will go L-L-R-L-R-L-R-R. That slot is also more likely to get PHed for late in the game (or replaced for defense -- not Cameron) as well (see: Timo).

Phillips has 1 year under his belt. I dont think that demonstrates hes a better hitter. Cameron has the edge in power and Howe has already said he's hitting fifth.

[damereth]

the lineup should be
1)Matusi
2)Reyes
3)Floyd
4)Piazza
5)Camron
6)Phillips
7)Garcia
8)Wiggington
9)pitcher
I THINK Al Lieter should start first.

If they can get everyone back healthy that lineup could put up alot of runs.
