Schilling's on the mound...all is okay again. As long as Dominique is not at first, and Pokey is at second.
Can youkilis play 1st?
defensively the sox should look like this
1st Youkilis/Millar
2nd Pokey
SS Nomar
3rd Bellhorn
LF Ramirez
CF Damon
RF Nixon
I would a young guy like Youkilis is versatile enough to play first base, yes. I would like to get that bat in the lineup most definitely. And he is a nice big target at 1B for the infielders to throw to.

That's actually not too bad of a lineup.Originally posted by ACL BoSox@Jun 10 2004, 03:27 PM

Slight problem - Nixon won't be there.
Defensively, I think our best unit, as the roster stands right now, is
C - Varitek
1B - McCarty
2B - Pokey
SS - Nomar
3B - Youkilis/Bellhorn (they both seem average at 3B, not bad though)
LF - Manny
CF - Damon
RF - Kapler
(Ortiz DH against RHP, Millar or Mirabelli against LHP)
Problem is, that has McCarty, Pokey, and Kapler in the same lineup. That's bad.
Offensively, the best lineup would be
C - Varitek
1B - Ortiz
2B - Bellhorn
SS - Nomar
3B - Youkilis
LF - Manny
CF - Damon
RF - Millar
DH - Mirabelli by default
Problem is, this lineup is Pokeyless, and has miserable range in RF, with limited range at 1B.
The only obvious, undebatable positions on this team, in considering offense AND defense, are C, SS, LF, and CF. With 3B falling under "kinda" with Youkilis, given the small sample size.
woot woot, way to go pokey
Y'know, Pokey doesn't produce much offensively, but when he does...it's kinda nice.
The Manny/Ortiz connection. Gotta love it. 3-1 sox.
it feels great to say this again
NOMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!
youks with a 1 run double
NOMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!! ; with a 2 run double
6-1
btw, ill stop with the NOMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!s now...
and MILLAH (without all the As)
8-1 good guys
Good game so far, Can't complain when you're up by 6!
I love Nomar (see my screenname for proof). I'm so happy he's back and swinging the bat well.
